scan quietly abandoned

deipnosophista

I'm running OS10.8.5 and Sophos 8.0.21C; Energy Saver is not set to induce sleep mode when there is no input.  I've tried to run a number of scans over the past week or so, but the last scan Sophos recognises was in October.  On each occasion the scan starts and proceeds normally, but Sophos closes spontaneously after an hour or so before the scan is finished.

    Not that I could understand, though I'm not an expert. 

    However, I've since installed Sophos v 9.0.6.  I used it successfully for a limited scan which identified 8 infected files, and deleted them.  I then launched a scan of my backup external drive to check that all was okay there.  That was on Saturday morning.  Since Saturday evening (it is now Monday morning) it has been scanning continuously on one single item: is this normal?
