InterCheck.app is asking me to accept incoming connections

I've been using Sophos Antivirus for Mac Home Edition for a long while, under various OS X versions. Currently running 9.0.11 on Mac OS X version 10.8.5 (Mountain Lion). Today, for the first that I can remember, I've got the popup:

Do you want the application "InterCheck.app" to accept incoming network connections?

I'm wondering if this is legitimate? My concern is if this might be some hack?

Any help is appreciated.

  • I don't think anything has changed - I will ask.

    Google the general Mac firewall prompt it seems it could be a permissions problem.  Hence it's worth opening Disk Utilty from Spotlight and running a check on permissions etc.  Example:
