You may be able to stop windows 7 from updating the driver, as noted here:

Its wrong only if you have a 'counterfeit' Prolific chip, the most recent driver revisions that Prolific themselves provided to Microsoft detects and disables the non-genuine variants. Prolific is protecting their market share and IP, and Microsoft was providing a certified manufacturer supplied driver.
