Alternate Data Streams (ADS) are pieces of info hidden as metadata on
files on NTFS drives. They are not visible in Explorer and the size
they take up is not reported by Windows. Recent browser hijackers
started using ADS to hide their files, and very few anti-malware
scanners detect this. Use ADS Scanner to find and remove these streams.
Note: this application can also display legitimate ADS streams. Don't
delete streams if you are not completely sure they are malicious!
What does ADS Scanner do?
ADS Scanner searches through your drives and lists all the files that
have Alternate Data Streams attached. You can then remove all or some
of the streams found.
