Advanced Threat Protection (ATP) is ruining Outlook.com
Are we supposed to assume that Microsoft will GUARANTEE that ALL the URL links that they replace with their " https://nam02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=" are SAFE for me to click on? If that is not the case, then Microsoft has made things worse. I want to see some official documentation from Microsoft that says Microsoft certifies and guarantees that the URL links that they replace are 100% safe (now and in the future). Again, Microsoft is a rude company for changing something so important without any kind of notification or opt-out capability.

You can opt-out of this per the info I posted earlier if it's really too much and then you won't get these types of links anymore.
Bear in mind this is a feature that's been around for years on the commercial side of Office 365, that's very much trusted. I know the links look a bit odd and it may seem strange but this is adding a level of protection that only comes with the top of the range Enterprise edition of Office 365 and will keep customers, now including consumers better protected from cyber-threats.

Lol...

This is more like a hijack than it is an anti-phishing tool.
