I suspect my ipad has a virus what can be done?

We received a link from an email that suggested going to a webpage. We went to the page and nothing seemed to be wrong. Now the IPAD seems to be randomly going to youtube sites.
is there something that can be done to isolate the issue or should I reset my IPAD to factory settings and start over?

Your iPad almost certainly does not have a virus; there have been no iOS viruses even hinted that I've seen, much less released in the wild unless your iPad has been jailbroken.
More likely either there's a cache file or cookie causing the issue or there's been DNS poisioning in your WiFi router (unlikely but not impossible). Before you restore the iPad, try just clearing the Safari cache and cookies (in the Settings -> Safari area) and if that doesn't help try a reset of the network settings (Settings -> General -> Reset Network Settings).
Hope this helps.

Mi iPad email is sending emails that I have not generated. I have been hacked on my laptop and think my iPad is infected. What can be done to remove any problems.

Mi iPad sending unsolicited emails to contacts each day. My laptop was infected. I changed all of my passwords but these messages are still going out one per day. I think my iPad has been hacked. What can I do to repair and clear infection.

Assuming you have not jailbroken your iPad, it is not your iPad that is sending the emails.
Your email account well may be, from the web mail or someone accessing your email elsewhere, but these emails do not originate from your iPad.
Change the password to your email account again to something very secure and update it on every device/computer you use to access your email. Activate any extra security features your email provider offers such as two-factor authentication.

I am trying to unlock my ipad but my email that i used to set up with the ipad has been deleted what can i do to reset my ipad?

can somone help me asap plz

I understand but like the article says:
If you see one of following alerts, you need to erase the device:
"iTunes could not connect to the [device] because it is locked with a passcode. You must enter your passcode on the [device] before it can be used with iTunes."
"You haven't chosen to have [device] trust this computer"

Im worried incase my Ipad has a virus

I was on what seems like a very secure website looking at audition monologues when a notice appeared saying "You may have (4) viruses. Press ok to start scan" But I wasnt sure if the notice itself was a virus so I pressed cancel. Now im not sure what to do, I have no clue if I have a virus and I dont know how to check. Any help would be appreciated. thanks

That is a scam
They can't tell from the web if your iPad has a virus
Besides as long as your iPad is not jailbroken, it can't have a virus
Ignore them
If they get too bad them stop visiting that web site

Thank u for any assiststance

I concur with Meg; having a number of iPads with the Smart Cover, I can say without a doubt that there is no possible way the case could bend the machined-alumnium case of iPad. The force exerted by the magnets is not anywhere near sufficiently powerful; if they were, not only could you not remove the cover, it would be attracting magnetic objects to the iPad. It's not even easy to bend the iPad yourself, much less the weak magnets of the case, which aren't even strong enough so you can pick up the iPad by the case without it coming off.
Something else has bent your iPad, if it indeed is bent (confirm with a verified straightedge; there's an optical illusion that makes the iPad appear to be bent when looked at edge-on, but it's not actually bent). If it is really bend, have you been carrying it it a backpack, attache case or other item with other objects? Set anything heavy on the iPad? I bet you, or someone, has, or something like that, and in such a case the damage will not be Apple's fault and hence not covered by the warranty.
But as Meg suggested, you can take it to an Apple Store and discuss the matter with them. The cover, though, again cannot possible have bent the iPad.
Regards.

My acct has been disable what can I do?

Depending on why it's been disabled you might be able to re-enable it via this page : http://appleid.apple.com, then 'reset your password'
Or you might need to contact Apple : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page
If it then works on your computer's iTunes but not your iPad then try logging out of your account on the iPad by tapping on your id in Settings > Store (Settings > iTunes & App Stores on iOS 6) and then log back in and see if that 'refreshes' the account on it

Placing your device into recovery (DFU) mode:
Follow these steps to place your iOS device into recovery mode. If your iOS device is already in recovery mode, you can proceed immediately to step 6.
   1. Disconnect the USB cable from the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, but leave the
       other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
   2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds
       until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
              * If you cannot turn off the device using the slider, press and hold the
                Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the device turns off,
                release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons.
3. While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the
       device. The device should turn on. Note: If you see the battery charge warning,
       let the device charge for at least ten minutes to ensure that the battery has some
       charge, and then start with step 2 again.
4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen.
       When this screen appears you can release the Home button:
5. If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the following "recovery mode" alert:
6. Use iTunes to restore the device.
If you don't see the "Connect to iTunes" screen, try these steps again. If you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen but the device does not appear in iTunes, see this article and its related links.
Additional Information:
If you have a problem getting into recovery mode then try: RecBoot: Easy Way to Put iPhone into Recovery Mode.
Note: When using recovery mode, you can only restore the device. All user content on the device will be erased, but if you had previously synced with iTunes on this computer, you can restore from a previous backup. See this article for more information.
