"The Trojan's self-propagating nature enables it to fit in the common sub-category of malicious code known as an Internet worm."

You are mixing things a little bit, aren't you? Malware can't be a trojan and a worm at the same time. Trojans don't spread. This thing is using a host file, it is spreading and some user interaction is required. No worm, no trojan - just a virus.
