You have to go up to the top where it says "Why this ad?" click on it and then click on "ad settings" which will open another tab. If you go to the bottom you need to opt out in two places. I ended up sending my mom screenshots of the process because well she's not that great with computers.

I still think Gmail is pretty damn good for being free.
