Turn Off Advanced Threat Protection in Outlook.com

Zamus:  good luck with that, ****...

As part of this change, the links in some emails you receive will look different. The links will contain additional information related to the security checks that were performed. Over the coming months, new Outlook.com updates will improve the appearance of these links while still keeping you protected.

**** YOU OUTLOOK SUPPORT!

WE DON'T CARE ABOUT THE APPEARANCE OF THE LINKS, WE WANT DISABLE YOUR **** INTRUSIVE "SECURITY" THAT BREAKS ALL DEEPLINKS

WE ARE TIRED OF EXCUSES

JUST DISABLE THAT **** FOR EVERYONE OR AT LEAST LET US CHOOSE IF WE WANT YOUR "SECURITY".

That "security" don't work for the users that found the phishing links for the first time right? so that user isn't warned...

If i'm that first user, usually i can hover the link, and see if is a suspicious link, right? i only have to hover the mouse pointer over the link and see if the link domain is real or fake. Guess NOT... I CANT SEE IF THE DOMAIN IS REAL OR FAKE WITHOUT PRESS THAT LINK.

THANK YOU OUTLOOK FOR THAT ENHANCED SECURITY, I HOPE THAT SITE DON'T HAVE A EXPLOIT OF THE LATEST MICROCODE BECAUSE I WILL BE ****.

PS. Sorry for the CAPS but maybe somebody on Microsoft see this message and think maybe he has a point.

If you follow the instructions and send the message asking them to disable it, you'll get the following response (tried it on two accounts):

Hi,

Thank you for contacting Outlook.com Support. My name is Jayesh and I will be helping you with your issue today. I understand you are wanting to turn off the 'Safe Links' feature. 

The Outlook.com team has enabled premium features for Office 365 subscribers, including no ads and advanced email security. As part of these updates, you now receive a higher level of protection against malware and phishing threats. The Outlook.com service scans each link you click in your emails, and if the destination website contains suspicious content, you will be redirected to a warning page. We recommend that you do not proceed to any sites that trigger the warning page. 

As part of this change, the links in some emails you receive will look different. The links will contain additional information related to the security checks that were performed. Over the coming months, new Outlook.com updates will improve the appearance of these links while still keeping you protected.

At this time, Outlook.com doesn't provide an option to turn off advanced security on the links. If you're not able to use the links, I can refer this ticket to our escalation team to review.

Thank you for your patience while the Outlook.com team works on improvements to the experience.
