Hello,

iPad is incapable of contracting a virus or any other type of malware. The only way a 3rd party could install an application on your iPad would be if you installed their configuration profile.

You can check if your iPad has any configuration profiles installed:

Settings > General > Profiles

If you do not see a Profiles pane then your iPad does not have any configuration profiles installed.
