Wolfram "Malware"

I have been using Mathematica 9 available as a shared application from the university where I teach. I installed a trial version of Mathematica 10, decided it was not worth the money, and uninstalled it when the trial ran out. I have since discovered that the uninstaller does not do a thorough job of cleaning the registry and has left behind some code that sporadically tells me my license has expired when I run Mathematica 9. I can clean the registry manually if I have to although it's a pain. Will this get rid of the offending code also?

By the way, hardly "malware" in any interpretation of the term... ;-)

David's suggestion should also work, since doing what he suggests puts a new entry in the mathpass file (and probably a bunch of other stuff).

The old activations seem to stick around, though. However, with the current activation in the first line, the older stuff is ignored.

I don't know much about Windows systems... but perhaps the issue will go away if you reenter your activation key in your Mathematica 9 via the Help>Enter Activation Key... menu item.
