NoVirusThanks Stream Detector Portable1.2.0.0

While they are only a feature of the NTFS file system and there is a good chance they are not going to be supported in the future, ADS are considered a security risk. Simply put, due to their nature, they provide hackers with the ideal hideout for malware like rootkits.NoVirusThanks Stream Detector Portable is an application designed to help you detect streams on your NTFS drives and hence, protect your computer against malicious attacks.

Clean interface and intuitive functionality

The utility comes with a user-friendly and accessible interface, so it is unlikely that you can encounter any issues navigating through the functions. The main window consists of a panel that displays the scan result with the streams that can pose a security risk.Functionality-wise, the app is as simple as it gets and entails specifying the target folder and then hitting the Scan button. The process can take some time, particularly if you are scanning an entire drive, and the results are displayed within the main window.You should know that the app does not delete files without your permission, but rather lets you decide what you want to keep or remove. Considering the app is portable, you can do so on any device you are using, regardless of your location.

Enables you to create Alternate Data Streams

In addition to scanning, the program allows you to create your own stream. Although it may sound like a complicated task, in reality this is a matter of defining the host and target files from your computer. The function could come in handy if you want to attach streams of operations to any files, including executables and folders, for instance.On a side note, considering that the Alternate Data Streams are relatively unknown, it would have been nice if the program included some documentation that explains the concept. Then again, let us not forget that the app is quite intuitive and does the scan and deletion automatically.

A simple tool that can help you protect your PC from cybernetic attacks

All in all, NoVirusThanks Stream Detector Portable is a user-friendly and efficient application that enables you to identify and eliminate risks associated with corrupted ADS on your NTFS files.
