Moving your temp files to another folder almost certainly was a trigger for all the other stuff you saw.
Oh yeah, George, do yourself a favor - stop using IE.

I scan my system (almost) daily - and haven't found anything for over 3 weeks... [Ad-Aware, SpyBot, and MS/Giant, plus a daily sheduled virus check]
By now all I use my IE for is some password sites (like this board and several sponsor stats) - simply because I haven't moved all passwords yet (too lazy), testing page lay-outs, and of course
gallery submissions since my version of RoboForm only works with IE, and the newer free Mozilla version is close to useless for that! And yes, believe it or not: ~ 3 weeks ago we got a Trojan from a TGP submission page - thanks!
