ADS can definitely be used for much more than was bargained for when Microsoft introduced them. They have the legitimate uses, but can definitely be used for darker intentions.
In summary here are the reasons why ADS can be considered bad:
– There are few programs that detect ADS.
– Removing ADS can be difficult.
– Explorer and Dir when determining free space do not calculate the space used by ADS.
– You can hide an executable as an ADS.

ADS (Alternate Data Stream): feature of NTFS that contains metadata for locating a specific file by author or title.
