Photoshop Kernel Security Check Failure

This error "Kernel Security Check Failure" happens every time I open my Photoshop CC 2015. The screen turns to blue with that error then restarts itself. So I can't use my Photoshop at all.

It is apparently a trending issue and I was lucky enough to find some a solution coming from Adobe forums. No surprise there. 

I don't know how exactly it worked, but it works like a charm and I am lazy enough to find out what the implications after doing the solution. 

So the trick was, browse to where your Photoshop is located, should be something like this path C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CC 2015 

Then find the file named sniffer.exe. Don't delete the file, just move it somewhere safe for backup. Open  your photoshop again and voilah! No more blue screen of death.
