Q: repeated error launchd (com.prey.agent) service could not initialize

Macbook air

2/7/16 8:58:05.908 AM com.apple.xpc.launchd[1]: (com.prey.agent[26313]) Service could not initialize: Unable to set current working directory. error = 2: No such file or directory, path = /usr/lib/prey/current: 15C50: xpcproxy + 12028 [1353][13E77DA5-3602-31BF-B074-49D4EE27E9D8]: 0x2

2/7/16 8:58:05.908 AM com.apple.xpc.launchd[1]: (com.prey.agent) Service only ran for 0 seconds. Pushing respawn out by 10 seconds.

I have already run the uninstall instructions from the preyproject, neither the program nor its directories or log files are present any longer. I find no com.prey.agent file anywhere.
