Sophos versions 8.0-9.1 causes Mac to restart

Hi a few days ago my iMac started crashing sometime during the night as I would log on in the morning to find it had restarted. I kept getting the message below. Ive since i tried uninstalling Sophos and reinstalling but it was still restarting/crashing. OS X Mavericks: Sophos Anti-Virus on-access scanner versions 8.0 - 9.1 may cause unexpected restarts Sophos Anti-Virus on-access scanner versions 8.0 - 9.1 may cause OS X Mavericks to unexpectedly restart (kernel panic). The on-access scanner feature of Sophos Anti-Virus versions 8.0 - 9.1 may cause OS X to stop responding and unexpectedly restart. If this happens, you are presented with an option to move related components of this application to the Trash. Doing this disables the on-access scanner software to prevent this issue from happening again. For more information, contact the developer of Sophos Anti-Virus to see if an update is available that is compatible with the version of OS X you are using. can someone assist please?

    futher to my messages last week, My Imac crashed last night. 

    the report suggests it was Sophos.


    Do you have any entries in your system.log messages (in Console) that contain the text "[EWOULDBLOCK]" - I'd be interested to know what those log messages say, it might help pinpoint what is happening.
