Menubar Icon + Update Window Won't Appear

I am running Sophos Free on Mac Tiger 10.4.11. I had to uninstall/reinstall Sophos because I was making changes to my system, which is functioning properly. I got a notice at the completion of the install that there were errors, try re-installing again. After a couple of attempts with the same error appearing, I ran the program, in fact, running the system scan as I am writing this. When I check the log, all appears to be working well (even in Preferences, all access scanning is working), even the update to the Jan3/2011 version of Sophos. The problem is that the icon will not appear in the menubar or if i initiate a manual update, the window will not appear so Sophos is working but I cannot visually follow it. How can I fix this? If I can't but Sophos seems to be working can I just let it function in the BG, occasionally checking the log to be certain of updates? In case of Malware, with this problem, will Sophos be able to notify me? I am not a techie, not of the computer generation, a fairly new Mac user, so please make your reply easy to follow. Thanks.

  • I went one step further. I went to System Preferences, then Accounts, then LogIn items, made the SophosUIServer a login item so the black icon (although with an "X" through it) now appears whenever I bootup the computer, I can run Sophos from there.
