Hi there and welcome.
First off, there is currently no need for antivirus on an iPad although it's worth checking here regularly to see if that situation changes. As for the wifi, if it's a private, password protected network then he should be fine but if it's an open public network then risks rise accordingly.
There is lots of good advice and info on here plus plenty of members all too willing to help with any problems.
Remember, search is your friend. If you can't find the answer you need and you post a question then give as much info as you can to help members help you i.e. iPad 1 or 2, etc. and iOS version and name of app if the problem is with a specific app........and please don't forget to read the forum rules
