Anyone Also Getting Kernel Panic After Last Security Update?

Hi. Has anyone also been experincing frequent kernel panic since updating to the latest security update which was released about a few days or a week ago? Sometimes it happens when you restart from latest El Capitan or few minuts after booting to it. This is the first kernel panic for this late 2009 iMac. It seems ok with Snow Leopard and Windows 10 Bootcamp.

Thank you.

It can be caused by a conflict with 3rd party security software, if you are running any or any anti-virus remove it as directed by the developer on their website using their procedure. Dragging and dropping to trash does not remove these types of applications.

If the issue persists please attach the text of the panic if possible, or a screen shot/photo if it is not.

Please read OS X: When your computer spontaneously restarts or displays "Your computer restarted because of a problem." - Apple Supp…

Also: Mac OS X: How to log a kernel panic - Apple Support.

Excerpted from that document:

If you record a kernel panic, you can post this information to Apple Discussions. Please include detailed hardware configuration information in your post. You may do this by copying and pasting information from a System Profiler report into your post. Please also include any reproducible steps that lead to this message.

If you would like to do that, copy and paste the entire text of the Kernel Panic report. Since this is a publicly accessible website, please omit or obscure any information you consider personal.
