See the GNU General Public License for more details. You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License along with GNag. If not, see . By using GNag, the user agrees that he or she has read the EULA of the supported application in his or her region and has verified that his or her voluntary use of GNag does not violate the EULA. If the use of GNag violates the EULA of a supported application in his or her region, please abstain from using it for that particular supported application. The writer of GNag is not responsible for the changes that users make to their system or applications by using GNag and it is up to the end user to determine if it is within the bounds of the EULA of the application distributed in their region to make such changes. Portions of GNag's GNag.Operations.Archive class uses SharpZibLib, please see SharpZipLib.txt for details and seperate license. The writer of this program is not affiliated with any of the publishers or developers who make the applications supported by this program. Should a company or individual wish their product removed, please email me and I will remove it from the definitions. 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.
