Right, this only disables the visible links, the underlying code still will function if you access the link directly. Since the links are in the Google index they’ll show up in the results and will work.

As Google re-crawls the site and updates its index, the links will be removed from its index.

To complete remove the ability from Connections you would have to remove the rewrite rules for the single pages from the class.rewrite.php in this file:

../wp-content/plugins/connections/includes/

Hope that helps!
