It looks like what we have growing all over our vegetable garden. Look up wonderberry. It is in the nightshade family and supposedly the berries are edible once ripe, but poisonous when unripe. I think people mainly use the berries to make jam. I'm scared to try them though in case I've misidentified them! I usually just pull them out when I see them. They're very easy to pull out of the ground.
I just saw this post and looked up the differences between wonderberry and deadly nightshade. I think you may be correct and my plant isn't deadly nightshade. I still don't plan on letting it grow in my garden or use the berries, but it's nice to know the difference between the two.
