The first is Mail Sender which is independently connected to accounts of Internet services (mail, ICQ and so forth) and sends the same trojan to all who are in contact lists. With its help other person can read your mail or withdraw, for example, money from your electronic account. Following, that is Backdoor, has approximately the same functions, only even with its help it is possible to manage the remote computer almost completely. For example, to delete or send files. At last, the last is Log Writer which reads out all information entered from the keyboard and writes it in a certain file which will be transferred to "owner" of a trojan later.
