Since installing Norton Internet Security for my new MBP (top of the line i7), I am getting endless kernel panics. They all appear to be coming from the symantec code and it is driving me nuts! I'm getting one for every 6 or so hours of work.
I have checked everything is up to date. I am seeing the same problem with kext as seen in this thread http://community.norton.com/t5/Norton-for-Mac/Kernel-Panic-caused-by-Norton-AntiVirus-11-1-Vulnerability/m-p/217702
and I am on the version stated in that thread as solving the issue. I *urgently* need a workaround for this issue - do I turn off the firewall?
