config.json file relates to the bundled crypto mining app, XMRig. The current versions of the FreedomGPT desktop app contain a crypto mining component that is 'optional' to use to earn FNT (Freedom Network Tokens), which can be freely converted into credits on your FreedomGPT account to spend on AI. Some antivirus will block crypto miners, sometimes classifying them as malware. In my experience with the Windows app, when this happens the app will still run but the crypto mining feature will be non-functional unless you create exceptions and restore it from quarantine or reinstall. Hope that helps.
