Definition of a Dropper

dropper is a program (malware component) that has been designed to "install" some sort of malware (virusbackdoor, etc.) to a target system. The malware code can be contained within the dropper (single-stage) in such a way as to avoid detection by virus scanners or the dropper may download the malware to the target machine once activated (two stage)
