How to restart On Access Scanner

Periodically On Access Scanner turns itself (?) off. Is there some way to force it to restart other than rebooting?

  • I'm having the same issue. Can update, can't turn on-access scanning on.

    Here's what happens when I try.

    1. Open Preferences, go to On-access Scanning, authenticate, Click Restore Defaults.

    2. Click Yes to "Are you sure that you want to set the on-access scanning preferences to defaults?"

    3. Error message: "On-access Scanner failed to set preference. The preferences option specified has not taken effect in the on-access Scanner."

    I'm running OS X 10.6.8, Sophos 8.0.14C
