Getting panic error frequently

Hi there, ssk29.

I see that your MacBook Pro keeps restarting because of a problem. Thank you for providing the error log, and I'm glad to help with this.

If your Mac restarted because of a problem -- This article provides the information and steps to use to keep your Mac from restarting because of a problem.

Take care.

Then contact your IT staff to have them sort out the issue. Both of these products have been known to cause issues with macOS. If you search these forums you will see most user's Kernel Panics disappear after removing these apps. Our organization also requires using AV products even on a Mac and we had nothing but problems with every traditional AV vendor. We are now using other more enterprise end-point solutions, but even this still causes problems. A better solution for a Mac would be to use MalwareBytes instead as this is the only app I've found which can actually deal with malware on a Mac without causing such major problems.

I'm hoping the Symantec product is for added security and is not another AV app. Users should never be running more than one AV product at a time since the apps will interfere with one another causing even more problems.

You can run the Apple Diagnostics to see if any hardware issues are detected which could be causing the Kernel Panics. You can also try running Disk Utility First Aid on the drive. If you are using the APFS file system, then even if Disk Utility shows everything as "OK" you should examine the details of the scan to see if any errors were found. If errors were found and they were not fixed, then you may want to backup the system and erase the whole physical drive and then restore from a backup. APFS file system issues can definitely affect performance and in some rare cases cause Kernel Panics. I don't know if they would be causing your Kernel Panics though.

Since these apps are known to cause Kernel Panics you won't get any more assistance from the contributors on these forums until those apps are uninstalled since we are just other regular users such as yourself trying to help others. You may contact Apple Support directly for assistance, but they will most likely have you reinstall macOS. Contacting your IT department is probably the best solution.

Uninstall McAfee by following the developer's instructions. AV software is not needed on a Mac and usually causes more problems than it solves plus it impacts system performance. If you still have Kernel Panics after uninstalling McAfee, then run EtreCheck and post the report here using the "Additional Text" icon which looks like a piece of paper.

Agreed that this is likely Symantec. For the past 3 months, a number of my company's Mac users have had no end of kernel panics involving Symantec's antimalware products. We have been working with Symantec and they keep saying that they've solved the issue, but the issues continue and they make yet another release. Then it's rinse and repeat.

Also remove Symantec

Thanks for catching that. I guess I skimmed the report too fast and my eye only saw McAfee.
