UPDATE:

This tool no longer required to get rid of the notifications, you can turn them off in the steam client's setting by navigating to :
Settings/Friends/Group events and announcements
and uncheck Display a notification.

There is no point using this tool anymore!


Windows only!

What is It?
This is a very simple app for blocking event notifications. It automatically closes event notification windows when they appears. The app runs in the background and starts with windows startup so just install it and you don't have to care about it anymore.

How to install?
Unzip the winrar archive and run install.bat

How to uninstall?
You can uninstall the program anytime running uninstall.bat

How it works?
This app creates a little program that running in the background all the time (it uses as little amount of resources as possible). It checks for steam's event notification windows every second and closes them. The program starts automatically with Windows.

Is it safe?
It's totally safe. The program not using any injection method or bothering steam files. It only using windows API to detect event notification windows and closes them automatically

The program is tested for now its working no crashes.

Changelog:

1.0
- First release
1.0.1
- Removed VC Redist 2015 dependency (executable's size increased)
- Replaced the 'cp' with 'copy' command in the batch installer

Tell me if you have any kind of compatibility problems!
