Try scanning your computer with a arsenal of Malware removers like these

a-squared Free 4.5.0.11 http://filehippo.com/download_asquared/
come back and post scan logs here
Welcome to the forums, auphartz2.
This should be a valid driver for Via Raid and this could be a false positive.
What anti-virus is detecting this as a trojan?
Please read the info at the link below :
