If you be afraid virus:

download a free antivirus (Avast)

or, connect your phone to your PC and display the card. PC antivirus scan your memory card.

Maybe it's not a virus .. card backup and re-format.

Maybe the data has become corrupt

Backup all important stuff from memory card to pc and format your sd card

well Vbose,even i face same kind of problems,nothing to worry.have a download a quickheal antivirus(30 days trial pack) and then you can scan your entire memory and then backup all ur necessary files and format ur memory card (remember don't use the "quick format " option.Store all your files in a separate folder and before u restore ur files into ur phone,rescan the folder and then proceed.if possible have a factory reset to ur phone after a proper backup

Make sure your windows media player is updated to latest version

Same goes for Java driver http://www.java.com/winoffline_installer

Try turning off firewall and antivirus..

Allow full access to pc companion in firewall
