So if I boot off a LiveCD and mount the hard drive without starting Windows, what's stopping me from locating and removing this application?

That's the only way to uninstall it without the password.
Would you be willing to back up that claim by offering some cash (I suggest at least $2500) to whoever can prove you wrong?

That the program can not be uninstalled once it is locked?
More generally, that it cannot be disabled/bypassed short of using a boot disk. A "winner" should be able to turn the webcam on without the password when run with administrator privileges.

I am probably just going to give the product away for free, but continue to support it. If any bugs are found I will patch them.
If I decide to continue monetizing the product I will definitely consider the contest. Thanks for your feedback.
