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)

  • As I wrote in my first post this was exactly what I tried - to restart it under Preferences but it didn't work. That's why I became worried, wondering if some malware had turned off the scanner and blocked it so that it could not be turned on again.
