I've already uninstalled Norton with 195 days left on my subscription, and I have no intention of utilizing it in the future. I initially thought the crash was something other than NIS and went through several troubleshooting steps before ultimately reading the mini dump files created. What was revealed was that, in all cases, the crashes were caused by a Norton driver named Sys.ENG. I'm indifferent to the idea of a solution so that I can keep this software that I paid decently for which, in my opinion, should be hassle-free and with absolute certainty shouldn't cause my PC to crash, regardless. BSOD, crashes and freezes is the most posted topic on the this forum by a long shot, unbelievable! Software "designed" to protect your PC is causing mass BSODs, oh the irony. For these reasons, I've switched to a more rightfully reputable Anti-virus software and I would recommend anyone with Norton to do the same.
