NTFS ADS Cleaner for Kaspersky users

NTFS Streams Eraser is my latest tool for all ex-Kaspersky users that want to easily clean NTFS Alternate Streams left behind by Kaspersky AV (or any other app that also uses NTFS ADS)

More detailed info about what NTFS ADS are and how this tool works is located inside ZIP archive (Readme.rtf)

I trust it won't hose my video drivers like Kaspersky's new KLStreamRemover did? If your tool is powered by System Internals then if it is like their Streams, it probably cannot remove all KAVICHS ads tags because Streams cannot.

I dunno...but I think I may leave the dang things alone as having fried video drivers was not much fun. Plus, the Kaspersky tool said that I still had 96,000 files with KAVICHS tags but Streams said only 35 files left with the tags after Streams ran.

 

Well i never got that tool from Kaspersky. I sent them mail,but they ignored it or something... Can you send it to me?

 

RejZoR,

Here it is. ftp://ftp.kaspersky.com/utils/klstreamremover/

 

Is there any way to check entire drive? I used wildcards,but i don't think they are working for all subfolders...

 

RejZoR, use the top directory only, it will seek subdirectories.

example: KLStreamRemover.exe -r E:\

 

I have used NTFS Streams Eraser several time and have found that it works more efficent and faster in safe mode.

 

Hijackthis has an inbuilt ads remover also.Misc tools-open ads spy.
I was stuck with those 30 or so undeletable kavichs ads a while back.Changed file system to fat 32 and then back to NTFS.All gone.
