TLDR; I'm pretty sure that the BG Link software is running ads in the background while on and this kind of abuse should be punished. I could be wrong, but I can come to no other reasonable conclusion and wanted to see if anyone else could look into it.

I have had the Beyond Gaming program running on my computer for a couple days now, I wasn't terribly pleased that they made me dl'd a program to have games credited to me when I played them but I was willing to give it a shot since they are clearly a esports company and probably care alot.

The option to turn off 'launch on start-up' is false, it does nothing the program still starts up regardless of your choice. AKA Bloat-ware

The last few days I have been having weird noises and ads play in the background, I watch alot of twitch so I kinda assumed that they were having an issue and kinda ignored it; annoying but the price of doing business. (I don't do ad-block)

Today I watched NonY (woot) and Artosis(woot) and then some reddit, not really important except to say that all my windows were closed when I started hearing a teaser for a film, idk which one. BG link was minimized into the toolbar (Im not sure what it is called exactly, but skype and steam have there little icon w/ internet and shit down there. Win7) and the usual suspect of Twitch wasn't available to scapegoat. the ads kept coming, one after another I think I got 3 ads in a row before I thought of 'BG link' and killed the program only to terminate the ad mid run.
