Name: name Publisher: publishers name Type: type From: location
While files from the Internet can be useful, this file type can potentially harm your computer. Only run software from publishers you trust. What's the risk?
When getting files outside of Windows (typically via the Internet)
where it is considered "Untrusted", Windows uses the Alternate Data
Stream (ADS) feature to mark the file as blocked. This only works on
NTFS, and if the file is moved to a FAT32 drive, the ADS content is
lost.
