On Access Scanning suddenly disabled

brvx

Happened suddenly on the 10.6. This was in the log

com.sophos.intercheck: Info:    ic_worker_start: unable to load on access kext at 14:40 on 20 May 2014

 

Restarting didn't get it back. Ran launchctl -w load  both for the entire kext and then the executable alone, but that didn't work. Next tried running the executable from sudo and got

 

sudo: unable to execute /System/Library/Extensions/SophosOnAccessInterceptor.kext/Contents/MacOS/Sophos Anti-Virus: Bad executable (or shared library)

Finally, an uninstall and reinstall fixed it (fortunately, the uninstall didn't remove the preference .plist and/or cache, so I didn't have to redo all my prefs.) But would like to know what else I could have done without reinstalling, and what happened here? Seems the executable got corrupt? Out of the blue.

    I had the 9.0.8. Did you mean that the on access scanner kext was from the old 8 and that kext was updated finally with the new 9.0.11? Never installed the old 8. I do see it's the 9.0.11 now (at least on ML.) Anyway if that's what happened, it was a bunged up job of updating.
