Ads in Inbox

Today ads started showing up at the top of my Outlook.com Inbox. They look like emails but I can't delete or block them. In the past ads did show up on the right had side and I could live with that but I don't want them at the top of my Inbox.

I want important emails at the top of my inbox not ads. And don't tell me that this is because I have a free account. My google email account is free and it puts all ads where they belong under a Promotions tab where I can ignore them.

How do I correct this?

    I agree completely, and I hope someone from Microsoft reads all these comments. I really did not mind the ads stuck on the right side of my Outlook email. Now, that I have AdBlocker there is nothing but a big empty space there. Looks like Microsoft's greed is costing them.

    I use Fair Adblocker for Chrome (it is free). When I chose "Block Elements" from the Fair Adblocker dropdown I was then able to click on the ad at the top of my inbox it went away.

    And hasn't come back...
