Questions

Stuck somewhere?

The ZIP asks for a password. What is it?

The password is syphon, all lower case. It is the same for every Syphon download.

Windows says "Windows protected your PC". What now?

Syphon is a small, new publisher that Windows does not know yet, so SmartScreen can show this warning. If you downloaded the setup from syphon.tools, click More info and then Run anyway. You can check that your file is ours with the SHA-256 code on the download page.

My antivirus warns about the setup. Is it a virus?

No. Some scanners guess from how a file looks, and they sometimes flag new programs like Syphon. See the VirusTotal report for what they say, in their own words.

I already have Syphon. Do I remove it first?

No. Run the new setup: it sees your Syphon and the button says UPDATE. Your settings stay as they are. Is Syphon still open? The setup closes it for you, then carries on.

Something is broken. Can the setup repair it?

Yes. Run the setup again: with the same version on your PC it offers REINSTALL, which puts every file back.

Does the setup need internet?

It works without. With internet, it first checks syphon.tools for a newer version and installs that one. Signing in to the app does need internet.
