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 suggest moving all your other functions, e.g., Homepage to Yahoo or Firefox and don't use connected services from Microsoft.  A few million people doing this will cut the ad revenue substantially. Don't mind advertising but, taking two-thirds of my page with their borders and **** plus pop-ups is ridiculous.  A bunch of third graders that think programming is actually an intellectual pursuit.
