Before I start this task, wanted to know if anyone knew of any immediate issues in terms of Virus Protectors that may cause this to not work.

Have a client requirement which requires files to be automatically transferred from an inserted USB stick.

The USB stick will be called, for example, "DataStick" with several directories.

What I'm hoping to do is write a program that checks the insertion of the new drive, if it's drive name is "DataStick" then copy the data over, place it (and in most cases overwrite) existing data and show a message on the screen saying something like "Data transferred, please remove USB stick"

Program wise I don't think this is a problem, but does anyone know of any potential problems such as AVG, Windows Defender, etc, etc which would somehow halt or warn of this process carried out?
 
Don't think any AV would worry about this kind of thing.

I've read about a recent virus/worm that was proliferated by copying itself to an inserted removal media and then to a new machine when inserted into that via autorun. Presumable these networks had some sort of AV, but was not viewed as a malicious activity.
