I immediately removed it from my computer...

The online scanner did not return a hit (for an old version):
http://miktex.en.lo4d.com/virus-malware-tests

See also http://tex.stackexchange.com/q/69403/9075 -- IMHO this also
applies to MiKTeX :)

Hello Oliver,

I'm trying to give you every information I have:

1) my roots
C:\ProgramData\MikTeX\2.9
C:\MesProgrammes\TeX\localtexmf
C:\MesProgrammes\R\RProgram\share\texmf
C:\MesProgrammes\TeX\texmf (CommonInstall)

2) the message when I build the format:

Sorry, but miktex-makefmt did not succeed for the following reason:

The input file could not be found.

The log file hopefully contains the information to get MiKTeX going again:

C:/Users/Ollivier/AppData/Local/MiKTeX/2.9/miktex/log/miktex-makefmt.log

You may want to visit the MiKTeX project page, if you need help.

Sorry, but "MiKTeX Configuration Utility" did not succeed.

The log file hopefully contains the information to get MiKTeX going again:

C:/Users/Ollivier/AppData/Local/MiKTeX/2.9/miktex/log/initexmf.log

You may want to visit the MiKTeX project page, if you need help.

3) the formats.ini file

[French-LaTeX]
arguments=-mltex
attributes=
compiler=pdftex
description=LaTeX avec FrenchPro
input=French-LaTeX.fpi

4) the French-LaTeX.ini file (path for this file:
C:\MesProgrammes\TeX\localtexmf\miktex\config\french-LaTeX.ini)

I have used this format and this architecture with MiKTeX for more than 10
years and it was working !

Best,
Ollivier
