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.

    It's Time Machine backups.  I'll take your advice. But I don't understand it when you say "if you try to restore a malicious file from a backup the on-access scanner will grab during the restore" - if there is an on-access scanner which grabs incoming problems, why doesn't it catch all those phishing emails as they arrive in my inbox, eliminating the need to root them out afterwards?
