Editor's Opinion
ADS Scanner - simple-to-use and efficient freeware tool that shows you what files have hidden Alternate Data Streams (ADS) attached on your computer.
Editor's Description
ADS Scanner is a handy freeware that helps you easily discover what files have hidden Alternate Data Streams (ADS) attached.

ADS Scanner searches through your drives and lists all the files that have Alternate Data Streams attached. You can then easily remove all or some of the streams found.

ADS Scanner is also absolutely FREE.

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!
