When searching online, or downloading any thing, movies, any thing, can it get a virus on your psp, and eventually mess it up, or either get the virus from the psp, and then goes thru to the computer?
(btw, it's a wireless)

Yes, there is a virus called "PSP.Brick.a" that effects the PSP.
You can get a free virus scanner that runs on your PC called PSafeP 1.1

The best thing to do is not try to flash your PSP to run homebrew apps.
If you are intent on doing that make sure that you use a mod chip and one that has a firmware backup so you can unbrick your PSP when gets infected. (not if, but when)

Firstly, the PSP runs with its own OS which doesn't work in the same fashion that Windows does. Now think logically: Who's going to script a virus for this OS which will only attack PSP's? No one. The reason Windows gets targeted by so many viruses and malware is because it's exceptionally popular. I cannot imagine you'll have any issues with threats.

It's technically possible to get a virus for your PSP. It's less likely than a windows PC because of the much lower market share but the PSP itself is a computer device and is subject to many of the same vulnerabilities.
The answer to your question than is:
Yes, but it's not very likely.
