I have downloaded it--but after extraction--my A/V system is detecting a Server.exe malware--although it may ba false alarm or may not damage AMI/MT4 file--please confirm me--is it absolutely safe--???Presently I am using QT plugin for AMI(Live Yahoo NSE SPOT INDEX)--subhamedicalsjpg@gmail.com

Should I add an exception for this MT4 plug-in in my Mcafee A/V--because Rateserver.exe is being deleted automatically by the Mcafee System----

Hello--Raj--I am waiting for your response--should I ignore this rateserver.exe virus/malware-Trojan Type warning & go on to install it in my system--Please confirm.

Rate Server is not an virus... It just extracts the data from metatrader and feed into amibroker
