The folks at Graphtec were helpful. I got both a phone call and an email assuring me there was no virus. AVG picks up some of the codes that look like win32/small virus.
Here's an answer I got from someone else on a different forum.
"I just googled win32/small and it is a generic virus definition, so I expect you are getting a false positive.
Generics are used to allow an AV vendor to keep their downloads smaller and to "predict" viruses that have not been made yet, by searching for the similar traits of a common family of viruses. Ex. When Bagel first came out we had thousands of hits for bagel.a, Bagel.b, Bagel.c, etc on our AV gateway server, but now most of them are simply labelled bagel.gen. All this means is that when a 12 year old weiner creates his virus, he creates a dozen different variants that all exploit the same vulnerability and have the same characteristics, then he releases them in rapid succession. As it gets into the wild, other 12 year old weiners make variants that exploit the same vulnerability in the same way. As each of these viruses are found and a definition is created for them, they get labelled with successive versions. Eventually a generic is developed to simply capture the behaviour of the whole family.
"The 'Small' trojan downloader family consists of more than 370 different variants." I would expect that the driver you are downloading is doing something that is similar to the way this virus behaves, and that is setting off the generic filter.
As I said before, make sure your driver source is reliable, then disable your AV and do your install.

So, the short answer is there is not a virus on the Graphtec site. To install the Vista updates, you need to shut down the virus scanner, install, then delete the temp files. Turn the virus scanner back on and run a full system scan.
