In this economy, there’s not a more fun F-word to mutter than "free."
Such is the case with WordWeb, a completely free dictionary and thesaurus that lets you look up words from almost any program. Simply hold down the CTRL key and right-mouse click on a word and a small window pops up with the definition, synonyms, antonyms and links to Wikipedia and other sites.
This 7.4MB software can be used offline (except for the optional web links, of course) and the database houses more than 150,000 root words and 120,000 synonym sets. WordWeb also includes proper nouns, related words and pronunciations.
The free program does not contain any spyware or adware.
