ADS Scanner

Discover what files have hidden Alternate Data Streams (ADS) attached.

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.
