Hello, recently on my Powerbook G4 I've been getting gkernal panic sand the message " You Need to Restart Your Computer...." I did the Apple Hardware test and everything was fine, so I think it is a software problem. I really don't want to reinstall mac os x, so is there anything else I can do? Here's a copy of the message report in case anybody knows how to read them:
Thank you!!

You have norton antivirus installed on your mac. I suggest that you removed it by uninstalling it since you don't really need it and it probably what causing the kernel panic.
