IE7 and backspace button

Back in the day, sometimes if you hit the backspace button ("previous page") on Internet
Explorer, instead of going to the previous webpage it stayed on the same webpage and
strangely just rolled back an advertisement. So, I had to hit the backspace button twice
to go to the previous page I was browsing.

IE6 never had that problem, but IE7 is now doing that. Very annoying. Can someone tell
me how do I fix this in IE7?

Thanks!

Tony

Re: IE7 and backspace button

Windows version? Is it the same machine you referred to that was running
IE6?

Are you running any Security Software such as a HOSTS file?
