    So googling for a seedy celeb, whose fan base is mostly semi-vacant tabloid readers (read easy targets), results in a deluge of malware...

    Never have guessed would you!

    Perhaps you should get McAfee
    Seriously I'd recommend starting a thread somewhere here if its a problem:
    http://forums.hexus.net/hexus-help-b...nical-queries/

    Or go to one of the more specialist malware support sites.

    It sounds like you may have some kind of malware service running in the background or some kind of rootkit or BHO.

    Think Jennifer Aniston is placed wrongly on that list or has a wrong %. Why on earth is Daniel Radcliffe so popular? Surely popularity should wane after the film comes out.
