Those emails are likely due to a fast-spreading email virus going around: http://edition.cnn.com/2004/TECH/internet/01/28/mydoom.spreadwed/

Agreed. Completely unrelated to the bogus iregistrations redirect link.

However, despite having deleted the malicious folders and content which the redirected link installed in C:/Program Files, it appears that these clever bastards managed to leave something behind in my system -- perhaps in the registry -- that is feeding my PC incessant popups. While I fume, they're generating pop-up revenues.

Any suggestions as to where in my system I might locate (and disable) this embedded code?
