You think removing silent install from the installer would help?
I can try that.

About the ransomware campaigns this is why with build 1.3.0 we added "safe system volume encryption (botoloader is tested before anythign gets encrypted)" it only protects the system volume but most users only have one volume anyways.

Won't really help, of cause - AFAIR they just copy folder with installed program over the SMB and run dcinst remotely.

P.S. Here is site with description of one such campaign: https://id-ransomware.blogspot.com/2023/04/dchelp-ransomware.html

We have digitally signed the installer so that should take care of most of the false positives: https://github.com/DavidXanatos/DiskCryptor/releases/tag/v1.3.0b
