Uninstalling problems with Texura NTFS

Hi

I had installed the trial version of Texura NTFS. After the trial period, I uninstalled the software but It seems that MAC is not removing all the files. Whenever I plug in my Hard Disk It pops up the window displaying "Error while validating key".It is so annoying.

Please suggest how can I remove all the files of the said software.

I manually searched for the files and deleted them, but there are some files that I can't delete displaying "You cannot delete the file because it is in use by OS X.".

I searched in Activity Monitor to kill the processes, but its hard to find the particular process.

Thanks

MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Mid 2014), OS X El Capitan (10.11.1)

If you are comfortable with the terminal on Mac OS X, use the following line to remove all traces of Tuxera from your Mac;

sudo rm -rf "/Library/PreferencePanes/Tuxera NTFS.prefPane" /System/Library/Filesystems/fusefs_txantfs.fs /Library/Receipts/TuxeraNTFS.pkg /var/db/receipts/com.tuxera.pkg.Tuxera_NTFS.*

Just copy and paste the above in terminal hit enter and follow the prompt.

Best wishes
