NIS Conflicting with Java

We have been running Norton Anti-Virus for a long time.  This year we installed NIS (Norton Internet Security) as the previous product was no longer available.

After all of the updates were installed, we started experiencing BSOD (Blue Screen of Death) failures when running java.

The failures do not happen instantly upon running java.

The BSOD failures have been experienced by multiple users on 32 bit and 64 bit versions of windows 7.  Also on the latest versions of Java 7+8.

The browsers experiencing the issue have included both IE and Chrome.

So far the problem has been encountered on 6 separate computers.

By uninstalling NIS the problem goes away.

I have attached a picture taken of the BSOD.
