Trojans and viruses are two different types of malware. If your iPad is not jailbroken, you don't have either, though.


As stedman1 suggested, start by explaining what you're seeing that let you to jump to the conclusion that you had malware. Whatever it is, it's probably far less scary.

1) Restore your iPad from backup.

2) Update to the latest IOS.

3) Download and install the free Bitdefender Mobile Security for iOS for iPhone and iPad from either Apple App Store or from the official Bitdefender website.
  1. Premature until we have some idea what the problem is.
  2. Always a good idea.
  3. Always a bad idea. There are no viruses or trojans that affect an unjailbroken iPhone. Unless the original poster has jailbroken their phone or is a high-profile activist, journalist or politician whose data would be worth hundreds of thousands fo dollars to acquire, the likelihood that they have malware is vanishingly small. Thrid-party apps have a very limited ability to scan anything on an iPhone. And, Bitdefender Mobile Security makes not claims that it find viruses or trojans (because there aren't any).
