The connections window is only for Dialup connections, since you have broadband, no connections in that window will be displayed...as for not being able to add any, make sure you have a dial-up modem and the drivers properly installed, if no dial-up modem exsists you can't add a dial-up connection.

IT could be malware related. Are you running a virus checker? A firewall of any kind? When was the last time you scanned for spyware?

Check my malware article linked below in my sig, and run HijackThis per the instructions. Post the results here; we'll analyze them.
