Hi,
if you installed (once in this computers lifetime) the Kaspersky Anti
Virus, this stream (alternate data stream, only possible on
ntfs-formatted drives) will be called KAVICHS.
It's just that the virus scanner is attaching additional information
to the file he needs to discover viruses.
There is no loss of beloved data whatsover if you copy these files to your dap.
If you want to get rid of the streams, there is a special tool to
remove them (even after deinstallation of the program). Look for
klstreamremover.zip
