I am installing an exe called mailbomb.exe from a setup.exe installation
file, and the mailbomb.exe. seems to be infected with Hactool.Flooder. I
have tried repairing it with Norton, but it says unable to repair. When I
delete mailbomb.exe and try re-installing setup.exe. I get Hactool.Flooder
picked up by Norton on .tmp files created by setup.exe. When i delete these
files, setup.exe creates another virus infected .tmp file with a different
name, and thats how things continue.

I have scanned setup.exe and my PC with Norton , but no virus's detected.
bet nobody can solve this heh heh.

Hmmm. mailbomb.exe - that wouldn't be a program to flood someone's inbox
with email would it?

See:

Assuming it is used for sending large amounts of email to someone, it
deserves to be detected and the qn is why do you want to use such
software?
