Still can't get rid of Paragon

I suggest you use the program created by Etresoft, a frequent contributor. It will provide a snapshot of your system which we can analyze to possibly determine the cause of your problem. Please use copy and paste as screen shots can be hard to read. On the screen with Options, please open Options and check the bottom 2 boxes before running.

Etrecheck – System Information

In the Terminal:

pkgutil --pkgs | grep -i "paragon|ntfs"

If a package name appears for Paragon:

pkgutils --files package_name > ~/Desktop/pgon.txt

Now, you have a text file of the files/folders installed by Paragon, and you can manually work from this list. There will be a device driver installed in /System/Libraries/Extensions, and several more. Sometimes, installers will include a script that runs during the installation, and generates files/folders and permissions not shown in the pkgutils listing.

Fine. I suggested the commands to determine if the Paragon installation content could be discovered, not that they would discover it.

So if you run Pacifist against the Paragon installer, where does it indicate that Paragon installs its files?

Yes, I was aware of that. I don't have Pacifist installed nor did I keep the various Paragon installers. I asked the user which Paragon product was installed so I could tell him the location of the files.

One reason he may be getting the trial notification is because a preference pane may not be removed. Assuming he is using one of the products that has one.

EasyFind (free download)

And start searching for any file that has "paragon" or any other names and abbreviations they use for file names.

I tried that and searched all my preferences and library etc. can't find Paragon files anywhere but still get message about trial has expired. Very annoying. I've contacted Paragon support but no answer yet

FWIW, I would try FindAnyFile. I don't believe EasyFind works with APFS volumes correctly at this point.

On what Mac or iDevice, with what operating system?

Which Paragon software?

FWIW, I have 3 products by Paragon installed and the Terminal command didn't find any of them.
