How to Get Rid of PSP Viruses

The Sony PSP (PlayStation Portable) is a portable gaming device that not only allows you to play games, but watch movies, listen to music and connect to the Internet. Because it is capable of connecting to the Internet, it can become infected with viruses. These viruses are rare, because the PSP is not constantly connected to the Web, but you should occasionally check the system for infected files.
