Symantec identifies the Downloader as malicious software that share the primary functionality of downloading content. In order to achieve this function, the downloader must run in a computer that has been compromised or has lowered security settings, and is connected to a network. This program downloads, installs or executes one or more instances of malware from the Internet, and bypasses security checks in order to install the malware into the system. It secretly introduces malware into the system like a Trojan, but is not designed for stealth. It will attempt to download content from the Internet rather than a network, and the content that is downloaded may include items like configuration command and information, miscellaneous files, misleading applications, and other threats or security risks such as components related to pay per install applications.
