Kryptex is a virus?
No! Kryptex is not a virus!
Kryptex.exe was blocked, or similar alerts from antivirus software should not mislead you.
Many viruses silently mine cryptocurrency without the user's permission. That is why most antivirus programs block miners by default. Windows Defender has this aggressive security policy, too.
We are at Kryptex against silent mining! Kryptex works only when you allow it to!

You should turn off the blocking of potentially unwanted applications (PUA) and restore the files deleted by the antivirus.
PUA is a software category, such as miners, that can decrease computer performance. Most often, upon detection, antiviruses mark Kryptex as "Not-A-Virus" or "Potentially Unwanted Software (PUA)" They prefer to play it safe and expect your manual action: whether you'll block or allow the app to run. You can best assess whether to trust and use a "potentially unwanted" application. So, you can disable this blocking.
Disable PUA protection in the Windows settings:
Go to settings and search for “App & browser control"
In the opened window, click “Reputation-based protection”;
Turn off “Potentially unwanted app blocking.”
If Kryptex says kryptex#.exe is missing, reinstall the app to restore missing files.
Add Kryptex files to the antivirus exclusion list
Do not add the whole folder to the exclusion list, but add only necessary files. The antivirus does not check folders with exclusions — this is dangerous!
Here is the full list of Kryptex files that we recommend to add to the antivirus exclusion:
C:\Program Files\Kryptex\Kryptex.exeC:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Kryptex\miners.7zC:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Kryptex\miners\kryptex_gminer\kryptex_gminer.exeC:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Kryptex\miners\kryptex_lolMiner\kryptex_lolMiner.exeC:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Kryptex\miners\kryptex_nbminer\kryptex_nbminer.exeC:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Kryptex\miners\kryptex_PhoenixMiner\kryptex_PhoenixMiner.exeC:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Kryptex\miners\kryptex_rigel\kryptex_rigel.exeC:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Kryptex\miners\kryptex_SRBMiner-MULTI\kryptex_SRBMiner-MULTI.exeC:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Kryptex\miners\kryptex_teamredminer\kryptex_teamredminer.exeC:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Kryptex\miners\kryptex_t-rex\kryptex_t-rex.exeC:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Kryptex\miners\kryptex_xmrig\kryptex_xmrig.exe
