i basically got the following:

"In your case we realized that your URL for all 20 Search Terms spawns
several more windows - this is against our guidelines.

AdvertisersÆ sites may not spawn windows from the page to which their
search listing links. Because some advertisers may wish to spawn windows
from other pages on their site, Web pages that do not link directly to
Overture are not subject to this guideline."

they've taken all my listings away now...

My link is a direct link into my site - no popups or anything so cant understand what they are meaning by spawning windows? any ideas?

>any ideas?

It is possible that the editors system has been infected with parasiteware [google.com] as the result of downloading some software

ade_UK, did you just ask them? This can't mean anything else than popups...
Another, rather remote possibility would be they just use this as an excuse to remove your listings for other reasons.
