Weird purple snow screen when shutting down system

Hello, since a couple of days, my macbook air (13 inch, model 2020) shows a weird purple snow screen just before shutting down. Does anyone know what might cause this?


MacBook Air 13″, macOS 11.2

Have seen this before and attributed to Third Party Software installed. Are there any AntiVirus, Disk Cleaner, Optimizers, Defrag, VPNs etc installed which should be removed as per Developers Instructions. They are useless, unneeded, cause havoc and interfere with the normal operation of the OS. The Built-in Security of Big Sur is all that is required.
