The ads are how Microsoft makes the money to keep Outlook free.
You can upgrade to Outlook Plus (paid) to be rid of them permanently.
If you have PLUS and ads please contact the Billing Department.
If you are using Firefox you can use either popup blocker or No-script but neither will reclaim the space the ads take up.
.. i agree but re gmail you might want to read a post below .. :) cheers
Microsoft taking over Hotmail was a horrible and unfortunate occurrence that brings few positives and loads of negatives . As usual with Microsoft everything has a price. A major reason why I have moved away form a Microsoft platform and to Android and will be converting my email over to Gmail.
.. if money is the issue .. yeah right ?!.. why was outlook express free ?? bring it back if using outlook.com is costing you money MS.. ;(

Thanks, using IE, which of course is unstable and useless, but had problems with chrome, now thinking about firefox. I really just want to post this comment to give Microsoft even more ideas about how offensive this ad thing is and unnecessary for a billion dollar profit making company. Do they really was McDomald's ads on their products...? If so there may come a time when I just leave this email service.
