how to remove Imgkulot virus

In addition the word ‘imgkulot’ fits the phrase “Oh my God, Kulot!”, with ‘kulot’ meaning kinky hair. Although not exactly a derogatory term, it is playful enough to elicit some laughs to those who will interpret it that way, most especially if the owner of the infected computer coincidentally has kinky hair. I spent a couple of hours of a weekend trying to remove the imgkulot virus from a family friend’s computer systems. It was the first time for me to encounter it

1. Infects all storage drives ie. hard drives, flash drives, ipods, mp3 players, floppies, etc.

2. When right clicking a storage drive you will notice “(imgkulot)” getting appended to your Open and Explore option.

3. Double-clicking infected storage drives activates the virus to start infecting other storage drives.

4. In some computer the virus also hides a copy of itself in the System32 folder.

If you double click instead of going inside the folder it will open under a new window.

1. Download Anti imgkulot. Run the program insert your infected thumbdrive, memory card and reboot.

2. Kill the process wscript.exe in the task manager.

open command prompt
then type the ff:
