Message says "Sophos Anti-Virus is not running"

alansky

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!

    Hi Bob,

    Just a moment ago Sophos stopped running again and I tried your suggestion (kextunload and launchctl). Sophos came back up again after that. Very nice, thanks!

    Although that still does not solve the underlying problem, I'm glad I can bring Sophos back without having to reboot.

    I'm fairly new to OSX, so could you explain what I just did?
