It sounds like you may have multiple problems, but none of them are likely to be caused by malware.
First, the internet-related issues may be related to adware or a network compromise. I tend to lean more towards the latter, based on your description of the problem. See:
http://www.adwaremedic.com/kb/baddns.php
http://www.adwaremedic.com/kb/hackedrouter.php
If investigation shows that this is not a network-specific issue, then it's probably adware. See my Adware Removal Guide for help finding and removing it. Note that you mention AdBlock as if it should have prevented this, but it's important to understand that ad blockers do not protect you against adware in any way. Neither would any kind of anti-virus software, which often doesn't detect adware.
As for the other issues, it sounds like you've got some serious corruption. I would be inclined to say it sounds like a failing drive, except it sounds like you just got it replaced. How did you get all your files back after the new drive was installed?

Apple TV does not recognize my Apple account username (email) and password, but ITunes, my iPad and iPhone does. I have rest my password three times, same results. Also, ATV says my computer is not authorized, but I-Tunes says it is.

ATV says my computer is not authorized, but i-Tunes says it is.
I have i-Tunes open on my computer and have entered i-Tunes store, ATV says it can't access the store. Both on the same network!
I am so frustrated with this system! All these problems with Apple TV are not the end but the beginning.
In i-Tunes, songs are lost when they have not been moved. I lose whole albums I have ripped from CDs to iTunes
An audiobook book in two files are in the library but only one file is recognized by iTunes when I try to play it or transfer it to my iPhone

I Am having the same issue. Ie on the password issue.
I Am using a Macpro though.
i Have had no issues with the setup until recently.
However I think the hard drive is starting to fail as it keeps on losing the wireless connection and gas been stuttering a lot on playback.

There may be an issue with the Firefox plugin checker.<br>
Please do the following:
#Close Firefox
#Open the application data folder and locate the Firefox data
#Locate and open your profile from the folder
#Rename the <code>pluginreg.data</code> file
#Open Firefox
Does this fix the issue?
If not, you can restore the old <code>pluginreg.dat</code> file by deleting the newly created file and renaming the old file back to <code>pluginreg.dat</code>

Have LR trial 5.7. Says I have 27 days left but development part says "disabled"

Have LR trial 5.7. Says I have 27 days left but development part says "disabled" and says "sign in" which I do but the development module is still disabled. Can I reinstall or what?

What computer and operating system are you using?
Are you using a Creative Cloud free account or did you download the stand-alone version of LR?
Does the remaining number of days relate to LR mobile?
If you are using the stand-alone version, try uninstalling and then installing version 5.7.1 using one of the links in the blog post below. Your catalog or photos won't be affected by uninstalling.

I lost the sound for all apps. Music plays fine but apps do not have sound?

How do I recover the sound in the apps, music plays fine on the iPad, but apps now have no sound.

If you lose sounds for keyboard clicks, games or other apps, email notifications and other notifications, system sounds may have been muted.
System sounds can be muted and controlled two different ways. The screen lock rotation can be controlled in the same manner as well.
Settings>General>Use Side Switch to: Mute System sounds. If this option is selected, the switch on the side of the iPad above the volume rocker will mute system sounds.
If you choose Lock Screen Rotation, then the switch locks the screen. If the screen is locked, you will see a lock icon in the upper right corner next to the battery indicator gauge.
If you have the side switch set to lock screen rotation then the system sound control is in the task bar. Double tap the home button and in the task bar at the bottom, swipe all the way to the right. The speaker icon is all the way to the left. Tap on it and system sounds will return.
If you have the side switch set to mute system sounds, then the screen lock rotation can be accessed via the task bar in the same manner as described above.
This support article from Apple explains how the side switch works.

I have downloaded the kindle app to my iPad mini but where it says open it won't do anything

Please help
I have a new iPad mini and I used to have a kindle had fire
I would like to retrieve my book from the kindle, so I went to store and downloaded app the picture of kindle comes up and it say open, wen I press open nothing happens do I have to do anything to the kindle to Make this happen please help x

If you are still in the App Store app then exit the app (click the home button) and you should find the Kindle app on your iPad's homescreen - try tapping on that and see if it opens from there.
If it doesn't then try some of the 'standard' troubleshooting. First try closing the Kindle app via the multitasking bar and see if it works when you re-open it : double-click the home button to open the iPad's multitasking bar, and then swipe or drag the Kindle app's screen from there up and off the top of the screen to close it, and click the home button to close the taskbar.
If that doesn't fix it then you could try a soft-reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
If that fixes it then there is some help for using the Kindle app on Amazon's website : Kindle for iPad.

Why can't I download apps? It will start but it just says waiting...

You will have to call Apple and ask for Account Security.

All my apps (even App Store!) disappeared (iPad 1 upgrade to ios5). Most apps show up on laptop but app sync is greyed (no restrictions). I have 2 accounts due to apple email req, but I've loaded apps between my iPhone and iPad before. iPad now zero.

I postponed upgrading my iPad 1 because iTunes told me it wasn't homed on my computer. I tried it on my other computers, all with the same message. I finally upgraded it from my MacBook after appearing to sync the apps. When it finished (5.01), all of my apps and data were gone, as well as several stock apps including the App Store itself (although it appears in settings). Since what seems to be all of my apps (iPad and iPhone) appear in iTunes on my Windows portable, I tried resyncing the iPad there (as its new home). Restrictions are off, there is plenty of memory, but the app sync screen and app list are greyed out. Nothing will download to my iPad.
My original Apple account is under my name. However, I had to create a second account at some point in the past due to Apple's requirement that the name be an email address, which is my name (identical) at mac.com. Since both are in my name, it didn't originally occur to me that Apple would consider them as different accounts. This may have a bearing on what is going on, but I don't think so since I have exchanged apps between iPad and iPhone before. To check whether this might be related, I tried to change the account name on the iPad (removing @mac.com). I received a message that if I did so I would have to wait for 90 days to download my apps, which is not satisfactory since my grandchildren and I use the iPad regularly. And I need it for work.
I'm assuming that if I could reactivate the App Store I could redownload my purchased apps. Better yet would be merging both "accounts" into one, if that is the source of the issue. I appreciate your help and suggestions.
Steve

All I had to do was complain. I synced my iPhone to the Windows machine, checked the other account at iTunes prompting (where no apps had shown up previously), reconnected the iPad, and 140 apps downloaded including the App Store. I have no idea why.

Since downloading itunes 10 my ipod's features are messed up. Currently I'm looking to delete apps. They no longer appear on left side of itunes screen. I try to click on apps on top of screen but apps are in a shadow mode and I can't click on them.

Since downloading itunes 10 my ipod's features are messed up and many do not now work. Currently my problem is I want to delete some apps. It no longer shows on the left side of itunes. When I click on apps at the top, the apps appear shadowed and i cannot click on them. If I check the box to sync them it says I will lose what's on my ipod and the things in my library will replace them. What should I do?

If you are completely confident that you didn't hide it, then you purchased those with different apple id. If you completely confident that you purchases with same apple id then you have hidden it. One of the other or you are speaking about a miracle. While miracles are possible they are not very likely. Remember

When i try to download something that uses adobe to read it it says i need a plug in but then it says there are none

i cant download important things

Go to Settings>General>About
What is listed for Capacity ??GB
What is listed for Available ??GB
The Available is how much free space you have.
The GB size of the download file is the compressed size (like .zip or .dmg). When the file is installed/uncompressed it can be 2-3 times larger.
How much space is Other using? You may be able to reduce.
How Do I Get Rid Of The “Other” Data Stored On My iPad Or iPhone?
http://tinyurl.com/85w6xwn
With an iOS device, the “Other” space in iTunes is used to store things like documents, settings, caches, and a few other important items. If you sync lots of documents to apps like GoodReader, DropCopy, or anything else that reads external files, your storage use can skyrocket. With iOS 5/6, you can see exactly which applications are taking up the most space. Just head to Settings > General > Usage, and tap the button labeled Show All Apps. The storage section will show you the app and how much storage space it is taking up. Tap on the app name to get a description of the additional storage space being used by the app’s documents and data. You can remove the storage-hogging application and all of its data directly from this screen, or manually remove the data by opening the app. Some applications, especially those designed by Apple, will allow you to remove stored data by swiping from left to right on the item to reveal a Delete button.
