Prey should ask for the 2 keys, username and password if you want to uninstall prey
We’ll do it in a way you don’t necessarily need to be connected, but it will serve the purpose.

Why not make Prey sit in the bios like Lojack, thus making it much more secure? At least with the paid version. Currently, going for paid Prey is not a given option next to Lojack since Lojack seems securer.

If prey installed itself as two services that monitored each other, deleting one of them could trigger the other to restore/restart the deleted/stopped one if the prior 'check in' hadn't explicitly told them to stop monitoring each other. This is a fairly typical malware trick, and would prove very useful since we actually *want* the software to stay on the computer, hehe.

Is it possible to encrypt the Prey folder as default? Then the thieves can't even touch them :D

Also, if possible, if prey is updating (auto or manual) as it needs to uninstall then install the latest version, dont ask for the keys, username or password.

Too much trouble just for the purpose to uninstall it, even if it is to deter the thief from uninstalling prey. He has other mean to remove the program, perhaps, by deleting the folder where prey resides in. Would be nice though if prey can just run silently as a service without any program installed.
