its normally todo with AC97's Detect if somethings plugged in feature which u can disable im guessing the mic plugged in is just a fluke work around but if it works woot :D
im a fan of just raw power and lots of bullets lol.. so id say M4 then ak47 thent he m249 most people like the ak over the m4 but idk why but i swear the spread on a silenced m4 is easier to control lol
so far youve coverd pretty well all the tools i use for the average cleanup. i do like malwarebytes tho its been pretty awesome.
and Combofix is great for combating the Fake Antivirus infections
great thread idea :)
