So many wtf here. If anything this proves it is backdoored network card

1) downloading Windows exe files from Chinese forums

2) the USB storage provided by network card can still contain malware,

3) or can be accidentally booted from

4) it has universal USB controller, so can become any HID device: keyboard, mouse...

That seems unlikely given that "malware" is signed by Microsoft Windows Hardware Compatibility Publisher.
