Default MT4 Infected by virus! Help!

So I have been downloading decompiled EA's from another trading robot forum (which shall remain nameless) and it looks like karma has come back to bite me as I seem to have a virus on my computer. I tried bitdefender and Kapersky but they have not seemed to get rid of it. My MT4 keeps crashing and freezing up and I cant trade.
Has anyone had a similar problem? What can I do?

Maybe it's not the virus but just the bad .DLL within this EA. Try removing your MT4 and reinstalling it. You can also try http://www.free-av.com/ antivirus. It's free and is very effective.

Well the only thing you can do in this situation is you can reinstall the software again. Make sure to get a good Antivirus (probably licensed one) before installing the software again on your pc.

Are you sure it's a virus? I had this happen to me before and it was never a virus. Your computer simply could not have enough resources available for your requirements.

I would definitely try an antivirus program, if that fails then it could just be your computer's capabilities..

How could you have got it infected with a virus? Did you download the forex mt 4 from a untrusted site? That is really the only way
