I'm running Windows XP with a Linksys BEFSR41 router. I used Hijackthis and thought I really was careful about what I had deleted. I looked everything up and made sure they weren't clones in suspicious folders. Unfortunitly I only opened Hijackthis from it's .zip and thus have no backup. Firefox, DC++, Google Earth, etc won't work. However, I have found that Steam/Counter-Strike DOES work :thumbsup: . Did something with my port forwarding get messed up? Thanks :flowers:

HijackThis should not have affected your internet settings, or port forwarding, unless you turned off a program that should be starting up by accident. Another way it could affect your network is if you killed an LSP using HijackThis, but that would prob have made it so nothing works (network wise).
