There are no other names known for Trojan:SWF/Dropper.
Explanation :
A trojan, or trojan horse, is a seemingly legitimate program which secretly performs other, usually malicious, functions. It is usually user-initiated and does not replicate.
Additional DetailsTrojan:SWF/Dropper is a Generic Detection for Macromedia Flash files that engage in trojan-like behavior by dropping and executing additional, potentially malicious files on the computer. The malicious file may exploit a Flash vulnerability in order to run its dropper functionality.
About Generic Detections
Unlike signature or single-file detections, a Generic Detection does not identify a unique or individual malicious program. Instead, a Generic Detection looks for broadly applicable code or behavior characteristics that indicate a file as potentially malicious, so that a single Generic Detection can efficiently identify dozens, or even hundreds of malware.Last update 21 April 2010
