NoVirusThanks Desktop Discovery

NoVirusThanks Desktop Discovery is a lightweight piece of software designed to help you view what desktops or window sessions are created on your computer, including those that are not visible to the average user.

The program comes with a clean and user-friendly interface that displays the window stations associated with the machine. In other words, the UI is designed as a table that displays detailed information about the window stations names available along with their corresponding Desktop names.

As users become more aware regarding the threats lurking online, so do the malware released to the public. For instance, Hesperbot is a Trojan that targets online banking users and that is known to create alternate desktops in the operating systems it infiltrates. As you probably hinted, one of the perks of the utility is that it can detect such sessions that would otherwise go unnoticed by the average user.

Granted, the role of the tool is to display the stations solely and hence, does not include additional tools so you can take the appropriate actions. While it does not address the average user, the program can provide invaluable data to advanced users detect hidden sessions that may be consuming too much computer resources for instance.

At the same time, it can enable you to stumble upon more significant threats, such as the Hesperbot, Zeus or SpyEye. Not only do these Trojans record keystrokes, take screenshots or videos, but they also set a remote VNC server that can give direct access to your computer and everything you store there.

Whether you are just curious or you have reasons to suspect that your OS is infected with a sneaky malware known to create alternate desktops, NoVirusThanks Desktop Discovery is a tool that can help you learn more about the window sessions that are built on your system.
