Pjdura's fix worked for me.
It's not a virus, it's a feature that behaves like
a virus might (tries
to make things happen in your PC). I flipped the switch
shown in the 3rd
box above this one -- thanks, much pjdura.
Before, I got 2 new
drive letters when I connected up. F: had the same
3 files GJ listed, and G: was
my music, voice recordings, etc. (and the
PDF user manual - pretty slick). Now I
only get a G: drive. Disabling
the 'system' feature makes my oversize
postage-stamp-looking iVO-Sound
m220 4G MP3 player ($20 at Micro Center) a
simple USB device, not a
complicated one.
Before making the switch, I got a
popup asking if I wanted WinAmp to
control the music on my 'new' CD-ROM drive
(Auto M*u*s*i*c Transfer
never seemed to work, but it did spawn a nasty trojan
message) and then
a second popup with a Windows Explorer option (and a variety
of other
choices). Now I just get the second popup. The faux CD is gone, and I
only see the jumpdrive partition. I don't care. I don't get any more
trojan
virus scary popups, either. (FWIW, trojans are a completely
different breed of
pest, and no product finds even most of them. Nearly
all antivirus products
catch and try to kill essentially every virus, as
long as you let them update
every day. Windows Update should be on auto
or handled properly.)
The reason I
can't find any more info on psw.Agent.YOM is because it's
not harmful, it's not
really a trojan; it's just an action that's
recognized by Avast! antivirus (free
version) as hooking into my PC. I'm
being alerted to potentially dangerous
activity, but I understand that
it's harmless. Now it's "gone."
And, frankly, I
don't think I follow aimie077's issue at all. I don't
understand how this
feature could cause a file write failure to the
drive.
Unless that issue is
different from mine, I'm going with 'reboot' on
this one . . .
