The study analyzed which superhero searches led to the most risky websites, revealing that Thor, Wonder Woman and Aquaman, followed closely behind Superman in second and joint third place respectively.

The study used McAfee SiteAdvisor site ratings to see which superhero searches led to the most risky websites. It found that searching “Superman,” “Superman and free torrent download,” “Superman and watch,” “Superman and free app,” and “Superman and online,” yielded a 16.5% chance of landing on a website that tested positive for online threats, such as spyware, adware, spam, phishing, viruses and other malware.
