You think the ipad is ok?

When using my ipad, I clicked on a link contained in an email (I know, I shouldn't have). It took me to a page that obviously was a phishing site, then came page 2 of it. Naturally the page was looking for all kinds of personal information, which I did NOT give. I simply closed the page.
I'm told by many that ipads just don't get viruses, nor would it have gotten anything malicious. How I discovered this was a malicious site was when I tried it with my desktop,& my Kaspersky blocked it saying the site was "malicious". My tech says the Kaspersky was doing it's job & that my pc is just fine, which made me wonder about my ipad. One person said that when I clicked on the link I COULD have allowed something to get on the ipad & what was on it could be discovered. Another said that wasn't true. I changed everything on the ipad.passwords, etc.etc. Then I took it one step further… I reset the ipad back to the factory settings. The ipad wasn't doing anything strange at all, but I felt more comfortable by restoring the settings. What's your opinion? Do you think the ipad is ok?

Would it be just like new again?

I had a bit of a scare with my ipad a few days ago, but Apple support has assured me that it would be very very unlikely that my ipad contracted a virus or anything malicious because the ipads are so heavily encrypted.
I decided to restore the ipad back to its factory settings, which I understand makes the ipad just like new. IF there was a virus or anything malicious on it, would that be gone now that I've done the restore?
Thanks in advance.
