Internet Explorer / IE >> URL Switching

I have a problem with URL Switching. It is particularly troubling with
Google. After a Google search, when I click on one of their links, the web
page that opens up is an entirely different web page. The only way I can
get to the desired web page is to copy and paste the given URL address.
I've heard this is an increasing problem, but does anyone know how to fix
it?--
