Trojan horses carry out many different activities once they get installed on a computer. - Remote Access Trojans (RATs)
- Provide complete remote control over the system. This is the most popular type of trojan.
- password stealing
- Another popular Trojan is one that scours the system searching for passwords. Normally, system passwords are secure from such theft. A Trojan might steal the password store in order to attempt a "crack" of the passwords, but they cannot steal them directly. On the other hand, many client programs and services "cache" passwords, which can be easily found by Trojans.
