On-access scanner no longer running

Today, all of a sudden, my free Sophos Antivirus for Mac warned me, that the on-access scanner no longer was running. I tried to restart it from within the Preferences, but get an error message that this could not be done.

Whats wrong and how can this problem be solved? (Tried to uninstall and reinstall but the error persisted)

  • Same here.  The last two days, the "shield" in the menu bar has gone grey (not black) with a pop-up that says the scanner was no longer running.  About Sophos shows version 7.3.1C, detection engine 3.21.0, threat data 4.67, and release date July 4, 2011 (ironically, 4 days from now).
