Sophos stops working when my mac starts up

mikeroy22

Hope someone can point me in the right direction.

I'm using a mac (10.6.8) and have the latest sophos 8.04C - every time I close down my mac and restart it the next morning Sophos stops working and wont allow me to change anything at all via preferences. If I just put my mac to sleep there's no problem at all when it wakes up and sophos continues to work.

If I download the sophos software again everything works smoothly until the next time I shut down my mac ..........!

Maybe I'm missing something - perhaps I've got one of the settings wrong, perhaps my OS wont work with the latest sophos - I just don't know!

Anyone got any ideas?

Thanks in advance

    I can't guarantee this will fix the problem, but it is possible that it will (as well as protect your Mac's data a bit better should it be lost/stolen/used while you're not around).

    To test this out, open System Preferences -> Users & Groups and click the lock to make changes if it is locked.  Then click the Login Options line at the bottom of the user list window and set Automatic login to Off.

    You can also customize exactly what you want to see at the login screen in this window and enable/disable the fast user switching menu.
