The .dmg file type in macOS requires mounting before installation. .dmg files are disk image files used to distribute software on macOS. When opened, they mount a virtual disk on the desktop, from which the application can be installed. Other file types like .pkg, .zip, and .app have different processes for installation and do not require mounting in the same way.

I'd go with malware. It's a catch-all term, but it sounds like the user's system is infected with something nasty.

Hmm, I'm pretty sure it's a virus. Those pesky things always seem to cause weird behavior like that.
