Is there an automation tool like iMacros, but for the whole PC or should I learn Python, since as I heard it's the programming language used for bots and automation?

You can start with something like WinAutomation if you want a quick and easy way to automate. You can also search for "WinAutomation alternatives to find more such tools you'd be more comfortable with.

I got a warning from metacert that the Autoit website is linked to phishing. If you click on "Get me out of here" you get forwarded to the Winautomation site.
