Content.IE5 is used by all versions of IE.

IE's engine is used by a number of other APPLICATIONS, including for example, ...
... a common symptom of malware. The malware will get itself into the system and manage to elevate itself, either through the user allowing it via UAC or UAC is disabled or whatever may be the case. Installs itself as a System Service and that service will do the bidding of it's owner.
...
The REASON for the temporary files being that the malware would use the Internet EXPLORER component to navigate.
