That's true unfortunately. It's an entirely social problem, and we should absolutely aim to design Ubuntu in a way that you do not *accidentally* run a Trojan. For example, files downloaded from your browser or email client do not have the executable flag, and we do not execute anything which is not executable. There is probably more we can and should do on this front. However, if a user actually *wants* to run something he just got (with the usual lures like warez, porn, money, etc.), then he will run it no matter how hard we make it.
