scan quietly abandoned

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.

I meant to say that by not scanning the backups you will still be protected. If you decided to restore a file it will be written to the local disk and the on-access scanner will scan it at that point.
