Warning:
GNag alters file permissions, modifies the registry, moves files, renames files, extracts and / or
compresses files and replaces original files with mimics. While GNag is normally able to undo all of
these changes, the safety of your system, applications and data cannot be completely assured, USE AT
YOUR OWN RISK.


System Requirements:
Windows:  .NET Framework 2.0 or above
Linux:  Mono 2.0 or Above (untested)


Instructions:

General Use:
It is suggested that you unblock applications before patching or installing addons / expansion packs.
GNag does not need to remain open to continue blocking applications once a block has been applied.
Make sure you are logged in as an administrator or that you have elevated the execution of GNag.exe
to that of an administrator (via right click context menu if not logged in as one).  If you are using
Vista, be sure that you run it with UAC elevation (again, right-click context menu).

Definition Creation / Editing:
One can create or edit one's own definitions.  The easiest way to create one's own definitions is use
the built in definition editor inside the GUI version of GNag.  One can also edit the XML file with a
text editor.

Regarding Application Support:
GNag requires a new definition for each new program supported.  This can be tedious and the writer of
GNag simply cannot create a definition for every program.  If one discovers a method for blocking
advertisements / splash screens in an unsupported application, please email me the procedure, files
to identify the program and its default install paths.  Some supported applications may only
partially block splash screens / advertisements.  Do not hesitate to email me should one discover
operations on currently supported applications that prove superior or if one discovers bugs.
