Went to get online this morning and all my internet connections had been
deleted. I am using just the windows firewall with XP Pro x64. I'm not
positive I was hacked but don't know how else this could happen. Anyway, I'm
wondering if you think it would be beneficial to buy Tiny firewall or if
windows firewall is sufficient.

The Windows Firewall is more than anyone really needs, it has also been
improved since XP SP2 was introduced and is based on those technologies.

I have had the same problem. Just one of several anomalies with x64
remembering a prior session. Can't get it to remember my taskbar settings
either.
My network connections disappeared when I DID a system restore.

Thanks for the input. Saves me $100.
