Searching the web with IE7?

I've never had this problem until I upgraded to IE7, but sometimes when I search for something and click on one of the sponsored result links, it takes me to a page other than where it is supposed to go. This is an example, but if I type in "flowers" and click on the first result that comes up, i.e. 1-800-flowers.com, it takes me to a lycos page full of other links unrelated to what I searched for, resulting in more clicking around trying to find what I was looking for to begin with. Is anyone else having this problem?

    I have heard a lot of bad things about IE7. I did a system restore to get rid of it for now. Will try again later.

    Try the System Restore which takes you back to a time when your computer was working good. Go To:

    start

    programs

    accessories

    systems tools

    system restore

    This process is completely reversable. And does not remove your personal files. Just go back one checkpoint at a time until your puter is working good again.

    Yes I had that problem. I am sure it has lots of bugs. IE6 is better, and I recommend Mozilla Firefox.
