MacOS – Frequent kernel panics osx 10.9

kernel-panicmacos

I'm getting kernel panics more often than I'm comfortable with. I got one yesterday and one today, not sure the exact frequency before that, but I got at least a couple last week.

If anyone would care to look at the log it would be much appreciated.

I will keep posting logs here as they happen.

Avast is possibly the worst Antivirus software available for OSX. Uninstall it, and its associated drivers, according to the developer's instructions. If the uninstaller still leaves traces of the software on the machine, then you need to manually unload and then delete the kernel extensions.

Additionally, you have made other low level system modifications which may be a catalyst. If the panics continue, uninstall the software associated with each driver in descending order until they cease.

Most often, kernel panics are caused by third party kernel extensions which are either deprecated or incompatible. In order to resolve them, these extensions must be removed.
