Clicking on the file allows the malware to install and disguise itself as a harmless-seeming .jpeg icon.

SO inother words the use installs something that does bad stuff, this is a trojan not a virus.

Sure it's a trojan. It's an executable disguised as something seemingly innocuous that would entice the user to open it. The very definition of trojan.
