Things run in the background without you launching.
Hell, you've admitted other stuff was running - antimalware. (As a side note, antimalware does /not/ prevent viruses).

I'd suggest the general things - go through updating drivers, try clean install of blockland.

It does sound like a hardware issue, as the kernal panic is the mac equivalent of BSOD; there can be a wide variety of things causing that but common things include out of date drivers, corrupt memory units, hard disk issues etc. Just because your computer is running fine now, doesn't mean there isn't an underlying hardware issue.

Console log may help, may also be useful to see if you can replicate the issue and say what you were doing when it happened.

What? Read the topic more carefully next time. I do not have antimalware. I said that in Lion you get antimalware.

I am not going to update drivers. My computer is too old.

I am sure it's not hardware failure because my computer functions fine befor and after

In related news, Apple pulled their claim of Macs being invincible to viruses.

Still, you will have other processes running, to think otherwise is naive.

This is no excuse to not update your drivers, drivers are specific to the hardware your computer contains

As I said, "Just because your computer is running fine now, doesn't mean there isn't an underlying hardware issue."

It was running fine before. And what do processors have to do with antimalware?
