hi, 
 
I was unable to verify it, since I don't use IE, and would prefer not 
infecting myself on accident, however I did run across this: 

http://themexp.org/about_wrap.php 

Perhaps one of the themes you downloaded was bundled with the spyware? 

two tiny links from there:

http://www.addictivetechnologies.net/DM0/cab/ATPartners.cab 

btw, old trusty IE 5.01 + manually configured security settings =
no problem at all. either XP+SP2 broke seriously something in IE
or Geraldo Rivera has just poorly configured internet setting.
