Trojans are severe risks. A severe risk is usually installed without user interaction through security exploits, and may allow an attacker to remotely control the infected machine. These risks can allow the attacker to install additional malware and use the compromised machine to participate in denial of service attacks, spamming, and botnets, or to transmit sensitive data to a remote server. The malware might also be cloaked and not visible to the user. These risks severely compromise the system by lowering security settings, installing 'backdoors,' infecting system files, or spreading to other networked machines.
