Aren't their still cross-scripting problems with IE still? Plus I think
the Drag and Drop exploit is still unpatched? Comments anyone?

This machine is a fully patched XP SP2 box, with
the default security
settings for IE's Internet Zone. Does anybody know
what method this crap
could be using to install without any user
interaction?

It's a little hard to tell accurately without taking a look 
at what you removed; ie, saying that you cleaned things out 
of the Registry is great, but without knowing what keys you 
"cleaned", it's hard to tell.

However, doing a quick search on Google for "atpartners", 
some of the info I found points to BHOs...

Sorry, wish I could help more, but I'd need more info...
