MacBook Pro 2018 restarts every night because of a problem. Panic report attached.

Hello. So my MacBook Pro restarts every night due to some kind of a problem. I can't figure out the reason from reading the report. Can anyone help me understand if this is a software or an hardware problem?

Thank you!

MacBook Pro 15”, macOS 10.15

Your Mac has experienced an extremely rare panic. I have never seen this posted here before.


But you have modified your already well-protected MacOS by installing this third-party scare-ware, and in my opinion, it is extremely likely to be the DIRECT cause of the panics:
