Default How can I complete uninstall?

You provide lovely instructions explaining how to completely remove the Display software from a Windows machine. It would be totally awesome if you could do that for Mac users as well.

I've uninstalled everything I can find, but I still get a message in Console every five seconds. I'm serious. That's 12 times every minute, 1,728 times every day. Here's the message:

3/21/15 1:46:30.078 PM com.apple.xpc.launchd[1]: (com.displaylink.usbnivolistener[23459]) Service could not initialize: Unable to set current working directory. error=2, path=/System/Library/Extensions/DisplayLinkDriver.kext/DisplayLinkAgent: 14D105g: xpcproxy + 12761 [1285][15F47A41-89B0-3E4B-97C8-E8A42175ADEE]: 0x2
3/21/15 1:46:30.078 PM com.apple.xpc.launchd[1]: (com.displaylink.usbnivolistener) Service only ran for 0 seconds. Pushing respawn out by 5 seconds.

I'm on Yosemite.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE tell me how to remove your software from my computer. Thank you.

Hi Howell,

The safest way is to use our uninstaller. If you have partially uninstalled you'll have to run a complete installation before uninstalling.
The uninstaller is in the /Applications/DisplayLink folder.

Depending on your upgrade history you may have slightly different files but if you really want to uninstall manually -again not recommending that- here is the list of files:
OSX 10.10.x:
/Library/Extensions/DisplayLinkDriver.kext
/Library/Extensions/DisplayLinkEthernetDriver.kext
/Library/LaunchAgents/com.displaylink.useragent.plist
/Library/LaunchAgents/com.displaylink.useragent-prelogin.plist
/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.displaylink.launchd.plist
/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.displaylink.displaylinkmanager.plist
/Applications/DisplayLink/DisplayLink Software Uninstaller.app
/Library/Application Support/DisplayLink
/Library/PrivilegedHelperTools/DisplayLink
/var/db/receipts/com.displaylink*
Administrator access is required.

On 10.8 the kext files are in /System/Library:
/System/Library/Extensions/DisplayLinkDriver.kext
/System/Library/Extensions/DisplayLinkEthernetDriver.kext

Regards
Carlo
