I don't believe this is possible since these systems don't store browser data like PCs do. Spyware works by saving files or secretly installing files onto your computer. It can even modify registry entrys in Windows. These video game systems don't have anywhere for spyware or viruses to "download" themselves to so you should be safe from these kinds of things. I also don't think that anyone would be twisted enough to make a virus for any internet capable video game system. That would just be messed up.
