in simple way Trojan is a utility that can use like a RAT(remote access tool) tools and can control another Computer with Administrator power without permission of the administrator.

Case 1

A Lady Reporter was working on an article about online relationships. during the course of her research she made a lot of online friends. one of these 'friends' managed to infect her computer with a Trojan virus.
Lady stayed in a small bedroom apartment and her computer was located in one corner of her bedroom. unknown to her, the Trojan would activate her web camera and microphone even when the internet was switched off. a year later she realized that hundreds of her pictures were posted on pornographic sites around the world.
