Is there really a type of malware/virus that isn’t considered a trojan?

Question

All I hear people talking about when it comes to malware is trojan, trojan, trojan. I can’t think of any program that would be considered malware/virus without being a trojan, because as far as I’m aware, people don’t purposefully download malware unless it is to sandbox and test for what it does. So are there any programs that are legitimately not a trojan?

Worms. They exploit stuff like lack of/ vulnerabilities in firewalls to infect the system without any action on the users part.
