How to remove iPadian (Virus Removal Guide)

iPadian (also searched for as iPadian virus) is a legitimate iPad simulator and ios emulator for Windows; However, the iPadian application has a very bad reputation and various complaints suggest that iPadian will install malware and unwanted programs onto your computer. Users have also complained that iPadian won’t uninstall and that the emulator is essentially a scam because it does not do what it promises to do (ie: play specific games). I have been unable to find any good reviews for this application. The app has acquired only 8 1/5 star reviews on download.com, which is the lowest rating a user can provide.
