Q: Second Kernal Panic in 2 days: Snow Leopard 10.6.8-Macbook Pro

Hi,

I have just had my second kernal panic in 2 days. Both times I was just surfing the web using firefox with a few tabs open. The panics happened after a day or so of the Huawei dongle I use to connect to the internet falling into a glass of water (dried out completely before using again), so I am wondering (hoping) if that may be the cause.

I am using an early  2011 Macbook Pro. The only times I have had problems in the past was when trying to use Paragon to delete trash via HTFS external HDs, and ditched trying to use that particualr driver a long time ago.

Here is the log:
