Problems with some pages on lycos webspace

Hi,
I set up gigablast as the search engine for my site which is hosted on lycos.co.uk free webspace, the site has phpbb installed, and those pages are indexed fine with no mistakes in the listings,
but any pages outside the forum (e.g the front page) display with UNTITLED as the title and all have this code somewhere in the description:

'+ ''+ ''+ ''+ ''+ ''; document.write.. ..s); }

I'm fairly sure it's to do with the ad code that lycos puts into all of the pages but can't see why the forum pages aren't affected as well.

I ran through my code and made it as valid as I could (only one error I couldn't fix) so I can't see why this is happening?

Hoping someone else can help me out because the site search won't work properly if some of the pages aren't indexed correctly.
Thanks,
Rob

Rob, Is the front page indexed properly in Google? If it is, then there's some problem with Gigablast , but if it has the same problem, then I guess its Lycos.

Thanks for the reply sidyadav,
Yeah, the listing for all pages outside the forums are fine in other search engines (Google and Altavista).
I think it may be a problem with the way Gigablast indexes Lycos pages but it's strange that the forum pages are indexed fine.

It's a nuisance because I'm using it as the site search, but phpbb's forum search is just as effective if the outer pages aren't indexed properly.
