There is a driver on the Samsung site. Click the "Software" tab.

This is the file I got. I had to run this in Wine, to be able
to get at the INF files.

http://downloadcenter.samsung.com/content/SW/200803/20080305035413859_Samsung_USB_Driver_MCCI_4.34_WHQL_v3.4.exe

The INF files include:

sscdbus.inf
sscdsdm2.inf
sscdw2k.inf

The hardware that supports is

USB\VID_04E8&PID_6601
USB\VID_04E8&PID_6640

and those entries aren't in usb.ids so I can't "translate that
to English" :-)

Anyway, maybe that will get rid of the blemish in Device Manager.

Samsung also has a "PC Studio 7" software, but I'm less clear
on what phones that supports. That is about a 10x larger download.
There is a reference to that package here, and there seems to be
a separate USB driver installer package within PC Studio. I'd only
start reading this, if the above installer doesn't work.

It is possible the phone came with a CD, and the CD would have
had the PC Studio (some version) on it.

Does the USB device show up in Device Manager (devmgmt.msc)? If so,
does it have a yellow exclamation mark icon for it? You can right-click
on the device and select Disable.
