That means the virus infected the .exe from somewhere else on your computer. Run a system-wide virus scan and clear out all of the instances you can, and see if updated definitions for your AV proggy will give you an ident on the virus.

I downloaded the drivers in question, and scanned them with 5 different virus detection programs.
Nothing was found.

This means that a Trojan virus was someplace on your HDD, and then moved... Infecting the EXE file in the driver.

The drivers are not to blame...
