Backdoors open infected machines to external control via Internet.
Often the backdoor will not be visible in the log of active programs.
This family of Trojans downloads and installs new malware or adware on the computer.
The downloader then either launches the new malware or registers it to enable autorun

The names and locations of malware to be downloaded are either coded into the
Trojan or downloaded from a specified website.
These programs attack web servers by sending numerous requests to the specified server,
often causing it to crash under an excessive volume of requests.

DoS trojans conduct such attacks from a single computer with the consent of the user.

Worms can carry a DoS procedure as part of their payload.
