Moves alone

Im using my iPad, and it's moves alone, I don't touch any part, but open programs, move configurations and type letters. It's like a virus or some thing.

It's not a virus. There is currently no known malware capable of infecting an iPad (or any other iOS device), unless it has been jailbroken. (If you have jailbroken it, all bets are off.)


What it probably is is a hardware defect in the touch screen. Alternately, if the screen is really dirty, it could be causing this problem. It could also be an issue with the system, so you can try the "restart, reset, restore" fixes. Instructions can be found here:

However, most likely you'll need to get the iPad serviced by Apple.
