Ruh-roh Raggy...

Last time I had that happen to me, on a different site, I was infected with a browser hijacker. Lycos is the culprit apparently

You should go to your program files and see if there is any lycos files and in my opinion, get rid of them. It is linked to alot of adware/malware/hijackers/worms and even trojans. Trust me I've had them all at one point or another and have finally gotten rid of everything and keeping it away by disabling my active scripting in Internet options. Active X also allows these things to download themselves and since I have DSL it was doing it before I could cancel the programs!

Wow, I was long winded, but that is such a inconvenience and annoyance when you can't get to where you're wanting to go. LOL.

Good luck!
