Lycos Search

[Steve]

Can anyone tell me how to remove Lycos Side-search from
IE. Every time I attempt a search by typing a subject
into the address, or enter an incorrect URL, I get a
Lycos side-search results page instead of the microsoft
search page. It's really annoying because the search
inserts spaces where they shouldn't be, and gives lousy
results (in addition to being a pain).

Thanks
