According to "Agile" in a different post - "The main component of Sophos Anti-Virus does on-access scanning, meaning whenever a file is created, read, or written to, the contents will be scanned. " which i find worrying because my copy of Sophos (8.0.3 but also previous versions) steadfastly refuses to allow me to switch the On-Access Scanning mode on.
I have recently upgraded from 10.6.8 to 10.7.3 on my Mac but i am fairly sure the On-Access scanning stopped working before that. I know it used to work, and was quite surprised one day when a message popped up telling me it was no longer activated. Since then i have been unable to activate it again.
Even tried re-installing an older v7 copy of Sophos and whilst it did appear to work for an hour or so, I noticed later that the version had upgraded itself to v8 and the scanning was off again.
So can anyone suggest what could possibly be the problem and what the solution is?
