Well, I couldn't let this one go. I did the following - call me paranoid
if you like...

1) Downloaded WinIAP_Fix Touchpad.zip, and the MSI firmware I mentioned earlier 
as a comparison.
2) Compared the readable strings of corresponding executables - nothing 
suspicious, files look like different versions of same executable.
3) Uploaded file to a number of virus-scanning websites - nothing suspicious 
reported.
4) Loaded Win10 virtual machine, opened the firmware update utility, then ran 
virus scanners in VM - nothing suspicious reported.

Finally

5) Installed the firmware update in my real Win10 partition.

Confirming that this fixes the touchpad in Ubuntu 17.04, and that the
touchpad still works in Win10.

I still can't guarantee that this didn't install a virus somewhere, but
it's nice to have the touchpad working!

Regards,
Ben
