Imgkulot infection.

I've seen a lot of removal techniques posted in the internet for this infection and most of the victims returned unsatisfied because of manual registry editing of a very very crucial system key --userinit.

In these instructions, file deletions are manual but registry fix is automated --that way, errors can be minimized and success rate is higher.
