I also have the file and a Imation Flash drive which I installed on the date when my Anit Virus first detected this program. I don't know of any vulnerabilities or subsequent exploitations.

related to "imation" USB flash drive

Likely related to U-storage app for memory stick. Curious thing is that software is on the PC for over 2 years. In that time there have been no changes in how memory stick is configured. And only now an .exe with this name tries to get access to internet. Last time the memory stick was connected to the PC is weeks ago, PC has been rebooted countless times since then. Running McAfee antivirus and F/W, all up to date.

Found it on a DSE usb drive, looks harmless but not sure

It's obviously a USB Flash, Jump, Thumb, or similar type device that auto installs as a Windows XP Service. It can be [Disabled] by Right-Clicking the 'My Computer' Icon/Menu choice, and Selecting the 'Manage' menu choice. Just click the 'Services' , click to change the view to 'Standard', Scroll down,, highlight the 'UStorSrv.exe, then click to 'Disable'. After it's disabled, Restart the PC, then Search for the "UStorSrv.exe", Delete it, and Empty your Recycle Bin. You must also edit the 'Registry - via "regedit", Find each folder, or entry, and delet as well. Finally, delete from win dir.

I got this with my Imation flash drive stick. I reformated the stick which erased the "OTi Content Service" program (which is a log file) so I did not have to keep deleting it out my system32 file every time I put the stick in my usb port,
