I've been using Mobysaurus - a free PC program aimed at copywriters.

Here's a download link: Download Mobysaurus Thesaurus - Freeware Software - Tucows

Also use some hard copy thesauri and reference books, like

- Words That Sell
- Phrases that sell
- American Slang Dictionary
- I Never Met a Metaphor I Didn't Like
- As One Mad With Wine

One more PC program I like is (also free) is Wordnet:

Synonym Finder by J.I. Rodale. Absolutely the best resource I've ever seen. (And I've seen a LOT). My dog-eared copy will never be far from my reach.

  Honestly, I just use the Microsoft Word Thesaurus most often... I just type in the word I want to use then hit Shift + F7
