There are no pop-up advertisements on OneLook.com. We do not allow pop-up ads of any kind on this site and strongly object to them. If you think you've seen pop-up ads on OneLook.com, one of three explanations is likely:

• Are the pop-ups occurring after you go to a dictionary listed on a OneLook.com search results page? If so, then it's the dictionary site itself sending you the pop-up ads, not OneLook.com. In this case please inform the maintainer of the offending site that you object to their advertising practices. We cannot control how dictionary providers choose to design their web sites.
• Are the pop-ups occurring on the OneLook.com home page? If so, then it is possible that the site that sent you to OneLook.com generated an "exit" pop-up advertisement.
• Are the pop-ups occurring when you do a search? Have you recently installed a file-sharing program such as Kazaa, BearShare, or AudioGalaxy on your computer? If so, then you may have unwittingly installed "adware" that displays third-party pop-up advertising as you surf the web. This software is specifically designed to trigger unsolicited pop-up ads when you type search terms into Internet search engines.

Please read what Google wrote in response to complaints from users who thought they served popup ads; we feel exactly the same way and urge you to follow their advice for eliminating pop-ups from your web browsing experience and from the world. Thanks!
