I believe the instructor intended to say that a trojan is malware attached to a program rather than a virus as there are many types of computer viruses.
Oxford Languages defines the term computer virus as a piece of code that is capable of copying itself and typically has a detrimental effect, such as corrupting the system or destroying data. One type of computer virus is a boot sector virus or code attached to document such as a document not a program. Below is a URL to 10 different computer virus types wherein the instructor's definition more closely matches trojan subset than a space filler virus as shown below: https://www.buddycompany.com/post/types-of-computer-virus
