Searching for Jersey Shore's "J-Woww" will likely lead to viruses

Jenni Farley, otherwise known as 'J-Woww' on the hit MTV show 'The Jersey Shore,' has apparently become a dangerous search term.
According to an annual security report by Barracuda Labs (via Fast), searching for "Jenni J-Woww" is the second most dangerous search term, right behind searching for "music video."

Among the other top searches that led directly to malware were "Rex Ryan," "credit score" and "Barack Obama."

Malware comes in the form of browser add-ons, trojans, viruses, and spyware.

The virus you'll get from the search is likely way less damaging than what you'd catch from a real life meeting with anyone that is on Jersey Shore...
