Answer:

Yes, the question was what Trojan horses do to your computer, not how to remove them.

There are various Trojans out there. They carry this name, because their job is to infiltrate your system without being detected. This can be done by reediting your registry to fool security software, or if they tag along with legitimate software.

In any case, they are there to harm you in some way. One type of Trojan opens up backdoors to your security so that it can install other harmful processes along the right. Others will keep track of your keyboard input and send the data off to hackers who will steal from you. I hope this is useful.

They are typically bundled with dodgy programmes or can simply be installed via a dodgy website due to lax security settings and out of date protection. They can also appear hidden in programs that seem legitimate which are distributed via email.
