Sounds like it could be. What log and what files is the log refering to? Can you post an extract that you have checked?
If you click the Sophos shield and select 'Show AutoUpdate Window' check if the date recent. If not you have to click the shield again and select 'Open Preferences' and click the 'AutoUpdate' tab - make sure the is a schedule set and credentials are in there. The address should be 'Sophos' and username/password are pre-programmed by the installer.
Diz,
Thanks for helping me.
The autoupdate window shows a current update.
I looked at "Sophos Anti-Virus.log"
Here's the latest from that log:

com.sophos.autoupdate:
Probably up to date but there are just a few older files lurking in the IDE folder. This should be good...
Open a Terminal (type 'Terminal' into Spotlight). Type this into the terminal...
cd /Library/Sophos\ Anti-Virus/IDE/ sudo rm *.ide
You be prompted for your account password.
Then click on the Sophos shield (on the menu bar) and select 'Update Now'.
Diz,
I did as you suggested --tried to use terminal to reset the ide files library. This didn't work. I got a message that said there was no such file. Unless there is a compelling reason to try again, I'm willing to let it go as is. I assume--as you suggested-- it is probably just some old files hanging around.
I do very much appreciate your help.

I looked at my IDE list and have the same report...
IDE directory is: /Library/Sophos Anti-Virus/IDE File crack-aq.ide is older than 90 days File zbot-fhz.ide is older than 90 days File zbot-fia.ide is older than 90 days File bred-ahs.ide is older than 90 days ...
So I just Googled 'sophos 90 days ide' and found this...
http://www.sophos.com/en-us/support/knowledgebase/119774.aspx
It mentions 8.0.16 and below is affected, however if I run sweep --version I'm on 9.0.1
