Any ideas as to how your security was compromised?

Actually no...

I have an up-to-date version of windowsXP, an up-to-date anti-virus, I run on a regular basis 4 deifferent anti-spyware software (spy-bot, ad-aware, AVG, SUPERAntiSpyware) and I always have an anti-keylogger soft running...

I study in computer technologie so I'm an above average user. I can garantie you my comp is safe... Maybe this one was so new that the virus/spyware/keylogger deffinitions were not up to date...

Kinda makes FTP's software look bad, but still - props to FTP's security staff?

If you haven't been using another computer to login to FTP, then barring some funky inside job (extremely unlikely, I assume pwds are 1 way encrypted, etc), or funky man in the middle attack (or something of that nature, also extremely unlikely), the breech is on your end. I would certainly recommend a reformat.
