Default PS3 Anti Virus / Spyware

I've had my PS3 for about 2 years and during this time its been connected to the net via the wireless in the house and i've played a few online games.

Now i got thinking, with PC's etc u have Anti Virus (AVG for example) and spyware software, but if you go on the net on the PS3, what is there stopping these bugs getting onto your PS3?

Im guessing the gaming online side is fully safe, but what about going on the internet on it?

I've never really used the net n the PS3 as i have a computer for that, its too much hasstle using the controller as a key board!

anyone shed any light?

I don't think the PS3 downloads anything, hence no spyware. I think
