The Trojan is really two programs in one. The first part is called the "client" and is used by the hacker to control the victim's computer. The client is not installed on your computer but on the hacker's. The second part is the "server" and it is installed on your computer. Once executed this "server program" will provide information to the client program upon request. This server program once installed hides itself on your computer and will run automatically every time you start the computer.
