This one is pretty simple and probably the best/cleanest option as you have full control of the situation. To have more control you can split the arrow pointing upwards in two like i have to do this just press Alt whilst selecting it this allows you to create a better blend. FINAL ANSWER: A comment on the post, moderator Vincent, provided the answer. It is a bit weird because I tried that before and it didnt work, I dont know how it worked this time. This option is useful if there is no other white in the image or lighter colours, right click on your layer with the white and hit blending options once in the blending options you will find the panel at the bottom of the pop up that says 'Blend if Grey' and all you have to do is drag the sliders from the white side closer to the black as shown in the image below. Used the Magic Wand tool and selected the white space background, then pressed the delete button on my keyboard and done. Alternatively you can just hit delete and it removes the white by erasing it. (Note: if you want to change the amount of white that is selected there is an option in the toolbar to change the 'Tolerance') After you have selected it i personally would make a layermask so its not irreversible later to do that simply click the 'Add a Mask' button found in the layers Panel. Select the layer of the background you would like to remove and select the Magic Wand Tool (Shortkey: w) then once selected you want to simply just left click on the white background and it should create a selection over it. Here are a few ways of achieving your requested outcome. Irfanview does not have this feature but they are found in a number of other image editing programs.There are a few ways to remove the white background from an image depending on what your trying to achieve or the colours found on the image itself. The other way is to use a "magic wand" tool to do the cut-out.

On the whole, if you want to take this approach I think it would still be better to use a more dedicated program like the free Fotomix. Since this is not the primary purpose of the feature though there are some restrictions. Irfanview does however now also have the ability to put back the transparent PNG or GIF onto a different background using the new Watermark/overlay tool in v4.32. Then you can either mask or hide those areas. Click on any part of an image and all other pixels of the same color in the image will be selected. Make a solid color background transparent with one click of this wand. As Frank says that filter is now part of GrowCut and is no longer free. Transform your image with the Magic Wand tool. There was at that time available a free 8bf filter that could be used with Irfanview called GML matting both as a foreground cut-out tool and to replace the cut out onto a new background. I discussed this in the Irfanpaint thread starting in post 2 and resuming later around post 49. The background area, now a single color, can then be selected as transparent when saving in PNG or GIF format. You can use the Irfanview Paint plugin for that either using the brush with a steady hand or with the assistance of the color replacer or flood fill tools if there is a clear color difference between foreground and background. One is to "paint out" the background as Bhikkhu suggests. There are two approaches to this as has been indicated in the posts above.
