I trusted a website and ran a command in terminal...

Hello. What a terrifying situation, right? No? Maybe you know what you're doing and I need someone who knows things to help me. I'm not a developer, I ventured into the unknown to rid my life of paragon...


Here's how it went down.

1) I started to back-up my computer with a WD easystore (a portable HDD).

2) I changed my mind and deleted the myriad of software (paragon) put on the computer.

*Note* I didn't use their uninstaller. I now regret this bc I see echos of paragon software past and want to kill it.


3)I went to their site, followed a knowledge base for their software linking me to kb.paragon-software.com/article/4500.


4) The instructions told me to open my terminal and run this command: sudo /Library/Application\ Support/Paragon\ Software/com.paragon-software.ntfs.uninstall


5) Nothing happened. Maybe I chose the wrong command, or maaaaaybe I have no %^*&(*& idea what I'm doing. (pls help) (thank you)



Did I allow anyone else access to my computer by running the command? Did I do anything wrong?


Thank you for reading! Please assist if you can :)
