Message says "Sophos Anti-Virus is not running"

I've suddenly started getting a "Sophos Anti-Virus is not running" message after restarting my Mac. Running OS X 10.7.4. When I check Activity Monitor, SophosUIServer and SophosAutoUpdate appear to be running normally. The application itself does not run in the background and never has. Why am I getting this message?

Thanks!

  • Yes, same problem.  iMac running 10.7.5.  Per Activity Monitor process running are:

    Sophos Anti-virus, user me, .1% CPU

    Sophos Anti-virus, user root, 0% CPU

    SophosAutoUpdate, user root 0% CPU

    Sophos UIServer, user me, 0% CPU

    intercheck, user root, 0% CPU

    In Sophos Preferences I can not turn on, The on-access scanner and I can not Restore Defaults to do that either..

    This all seems disconcerting.
