[[Dropper (malware)|Droppers]] are a sub-type of Trojans that solely aim to deliver malware upon the system that they infect with the desire to subvert detection through stealth and a light payload.<ref>{{cite web|date=2020-01-30|title=Trojan Dropper|url=https://www.malwarebytes.com/blog/threats/trojan-dropper|access-date=31 October 2022|publisher=MalwareBytes|archive-date=31 October 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221031235424/https://www.malwarebytes.com/blog/threats/trojan-dropper|url-status=live}}</ref> It is important not to confuse a dropper with a loader or stager. A loader or stager will merely load an extension of the malware (for example a collection of malicious functions through reflective dynamic link library injection) into memory. The purpose is to keep the initial stage light and undetectable. A dropper merely downloads further malware to the system.
