I have a Hotmail plus account which does not renew until January 2013. I have an additiona email account through my web site and I wanted to be able to send and receive email from that account through hotmail. After I attempted to set up the account, my hotmail account display changed. It is now showing ads in a sidebar and it asks me if I want to upgrade to Hotmail Plus.

This is NOT acceptable. I pay for an ad free email account and there is no reason I should be seeing this ads. I contacted billing, but they said it was a technical issue and to use this forum for the answer/solution with the subject line above.

Please advise ASAP as this is extremly annoying and should not be occurring.
