mmm, no.
The PSP runs a custom OS that the virus scanners won't recognise.
Also, there are no real PSP viruses. Only a piece of malware that disgises itself as a downgrader. FOr it to be a true virus it would have to replicate via file transfers or WiFi and they don't exists YET

Best way not to get infected. Only download from official sites or sites that you have heard good things about from forums like this, even then you still take a risk
