    Hi Morphears ,

    As Glenn said we need to consider security side of blocking uninstalling a software plus it could cause trouble if you wanna delete from the computer locally. So we are not planning any blocking.

    What we are planning tho' is to install the endpoint with the option to hide uninstall menu item to avoid that children or non tech-savy user accidentally remove it. The endpoint can be still uninstalled via the traditional windows way but the uninstall shortcut will disappear. We are also considering to have it as the default behavior. 

    So, I believe this is going to be solved.

    Thanks for your proposal.

How about a uninstall password that can be managed from the web management console under our account?  That way you wouldn't need to worry about blockng or removing uninstall options.  This is something that many of the endpoint protection systems work.
