Trojan downloader is usually a standalone program that attempts to hiddenly download and run other files from remote web and ftp sites. Usually Trojan downloaders download different trojans and backdoors and activate them on an affected system without user's approval. Trojan downloader, when run, usually installs itself to system and waits until internet connection becomes available. After that it attempts to connect to a web or ftp site, download specific file or files and run them.

Very often on-line advertisement companies use Trojan droppers to hiddenly drop their adware/spyware components or downloaders to users' computers. That is why it is recommended to scan an affected computer with a spyware remover, for example F-Secure Anti-Spyware. There also exist several good third-party utilities to clean adware/spyware components and downloaders from infected computers.
