Turn Off Advanced Threat Protection in Outlook.com

Anonymous

First, I have an @msn.com email address. This is not an Office 365 business email address!

All the links in my email prefaced with the https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com.  Looking this up is part of the Exchange advanced threat protection package which they talk about in Office 365 for business.  How do I turn this off for my personal @msn.com email account.  It is actually causing more problems for me than it "protects" me so I need to turn this off.  How do I turn this off?  Again, this is happening on a personal account, not a business account.

Thanks.

    The Safelinks disaster has began to threaten my Hotmail account also in Japan.

    This destroys part of content of my Email.

    Despite I subscribe and pay for OneDrive, 365 solo, why do I have to suffer this with paying money?

    I totally feel making a fool of myself.

    This will end up deteriorating my QoL and might cause another crucial loss of my social life in the near future.

    Please, please give mercy to me getting rid of the Safelinks feature.

    Please.
