Good Morning. It's a month or so that i try to post but for one or another reason i didn't do it. Let's go directly to my problem:
I have this Late 2012 Mac mini with 10.10 and i decided to use a old USB Audio Card that i didn't want to sell. It's a Mobile Pre USB from M-Audio, my first audio card and i don't want to give up on that. Everything works fine, but the only thing bothering me is the fact that if i don't plug the USB in everytime, 10.10 won't list the card.
I know, it's a sloppy old card, with no Support since idk, but i'd like to understand if is there a solution allowing me to boot both the card and the PC without this stupid thing everytime. Thanks!

Based on this post, the code posted (now deleted) was indeed malicious, OP if you ran the script please be aware that of what's been written.

That code posted by the now-deleted poster was indeed malicious. I tested it in an isolated virtual machine and it installed a hidden directory into ~/Library/Application Support called ".MC" and installed hidden LaunchAgents into ~/Library/Launch Agents. The script attempted to download a Java applet which would open up a back door which Symantec calls "Backdoor.jeetrat". If anyone ran this it's attempting to download this applet once every 60 seconds. This is not the sort of thing you'd want to leave on your computer, and neither Malwarebytes or Symantec AV detect it unless the Java applet is successfully downloaded. Even then, the downloading mechanism is left in place by Symantec as it's only the code inside the specific applet that Symantec finds to be a problem. I didn't dig further to see what else the script might be doing when it runs every 60 seconds.
