Hey all, after a new installation of Windows 7 on my desktop computer I tried to re-install my Netgear WNA1100 Wireless Adapter Drivers, thinking it would work just as before. But it turns out not only does it not work but now it is causing Blue Screen (Of Death) and I really don't understand why. So here's the full story.

I re-installed Windows 7 because of a malware attack today which really pissed me off, but if that isn't enough of a problem now when I try to install the drivers for my Netgear WNA1100 Wireless Adapter in the middle of installation I get a blue screen and all it says is athrx.sys and then a bunch of zeros. I have tried to use every version of the driver and I still have no luck. Any help is appreciated.
