When the Greeks left the wooden horse outside Troy they also left the spy Sinon to be captured by the Trojan forces.
Sinon explained to the Trojans that the horse was a charm to get the Greek ships home safely, and that if the Trojans could take the horse inside their city it would protect Troy from future Greek attack.
The idea was that the Trojan's claimed the horse as a gift, hoping to benefit from it; but this was what led to the fall of their city.
A virus which describes itself as an app plays the same trick: it looks like a gift, but in fact is a poison.
So Trojan is the correct term.
