All comments about UStorSrv.exe:
Maurizio Scarano It's a service that came together with WAITEC (may be others...) USB pen drive. Its name is :U-STORAGE.EXE  See also: Link
JC part of the driver software for my Usb storage device
George Monaghan appears to be connected to "OTI" card reader or USB portable data cards  See also: Link
jebe installed & used by Imation_Disk_Manager_II.exe
From USB Memory stick encrypted partition software  See also: Link
Kevin It is installed with Easy Disk flash disks
Desummoner For my case this file was installed by Transcend USB Flash Drive software CD (I suppose, it implements "PC Lock " function and so).  See also: Link
staaki Part of a package called "U-Storage Tools". It's apparently used for supporting encryption on USB flash drives. Found it on my system after having used a friend's "Sharkoon Flexi Drive" which had encrypted data on it. Had to start a "SHARKOON.EXE" off the drive to be able to enter the password, and that's probably what installed this "UStorSrv.exe" as a service.
Alienangel An application for sync with particular brands of flash storage disks - an extra feature not needed when using windows file wizard
Installed by Imation Disk Manager II for accessing encrypted partitions on OTi USB Keys
Peter Berndsen it came with my Sharkoon USB stick ( never had it before installing sharkoon) ...For some reason it's trying to get access to the internet. I blocked and it still works fine
rand0m! Also installed & used by Imation Disk Manager III.exe for their USB Drives, if worried Firewall block the sucka!
George P. I found it after i bought a USB memory stick with encruption partition as part of its features.
Andrew decompiled it and found that it an IRC bot running system32 director
The Spartan I believe it's from Imation. I use USB mem also.
Ceogeek It came with Imation Disk Manger IV and prioty normal, doesn't give any distinct problem. But can't be terminate in Normal Window mode. May be in Safe Mode.
Viji I believe I got it after I used an Imation Flash Drive - which has a partition which has been encrypted and requires the LOGON program to be run from it, when you want to access that particular partition on the flash drive.
MikeC Got this with USB flash drive with encryption
Ian Dobinson Installed as part of support for EasyDisk USB storage device
Chris It was installed after the USB stick was used.
Blonder_Hans Auf meinem USB-Stick "PConKEy" ist eine Datei U-Storage.exe enthalten, 1.033 kB groß. Bei Eigenschaften fast nichts angegeben.
swiebertje USB storage driver
JJB It showed up in conjunction with installing Imation flash drive executable for password encryption/protection. The software works just fine with no internet connection, and I select "Deny" when ZA Security Suite Alert pos up
The Colonel Nasty bugger pounding my firewall with a port scan (looks like a syn-flood). SpyBot, AdAware & GIANT (Microsoft) do not rate it as "spyware", nor does McAfee see it as a virus, but anything that slams a firewall has got to be suspect. Disabled the service and scanning went away (from that machine). Now onto the next spyware challenge....
H. Taylor Installed by my Imation 128 MB USB memory stick
Timm It loaded when I installed my Imation memory stick
Jed Nothing Yet, McAfee did not recognize the application so I blocked all access for now  See also: Link
Shane Encryption software for Dick Smith USB Drive
gtoland I too got this after using my Imation flash drive with a secure partition. So that seems the most common explanation. Thanks
Mark This program installs itself with plug and play USB drives, including Imation, and if you have Norton Internet Security, it will block it and ask you what to do, to be safe, you should "Always block connections to this program on all ports". Your USB drive obviously does not need an open connection to other computers or the internet, and so this could be an malicious infringement program from the makers of your USB drive.
Viji Rajasundram I believe I got it after I used an Imation Flash Drive - which has a partition which has been encrypted and requires the LOGON program to be run from it, when you want to access that particular partition on the flash drive. You can set your firewall to blockk its access to the Internet - as it does not require it. This causes no harm to its operation. Cant figure out why it would want access to the Internet though. Anyway, it comes from a reliable manufacturer - Imation - so, am happy to trust it on my PC - but will block it from the Internet.
Poda I got it with my Imation 1 GB USB drive, you can remove it with the freeware autoruns
hayhaypaula This process appeared immediately after the first time I used a new USB flash drive by Simpletech, the Bonzai Express. The flash drive came with a utility to allow password encryption and this program probably included this process. The process is not listed in msconfig under startup, but was found as a running process immediately after boot up, by Hijack this!
Terror-Sense Diese Datei gehört zum meinem USB-Stick.Es ist der USB-Storage Driver
batteryacd I believe it installed with my imation USB thumbdrive. I want to know why it's trying to access the internet.
micmond I try to understand all the process running on my machine by asking ZA to allow or not the process running. From the comments I have read in your list, I suppose it is part of Imation disk (But why this process want to access internet ??). I don't know! However I have it on my computer for two years now and I nevergot any problem. So I suppose it is not dangerous.

The Bernoulli Effect Appeared after partitioning my Imation USB pen drive.
dlloyd Installed by Imation Disk Manager II for accessing encrypted partitions on USB Flash Drives
