WORRISOME: Sophos Anti-Virus Stops Working

hi

Hi here,

Today my Sophos shut off without warning, and it has done this other times, too.

First off: why?

What can I do?

How can I know if Sophos is working properly?

Thank you so much for your help! I am an artist and consider Banksy's arrest symbolic: are artists safe anywhere??

-Hi

    This also happened to me.

    Same message. Same Version: : 8.0.25C.

    iMac mid2011 if its relevant.

    I imagine it is an incompatibility in Yosemite.

    But OS trumps AV. I can uninstall the AV. I cannot uninstall the OS.

    I did notice that although the "Update Now" menu option claims I am up to date, the download in the free tools section claims to be version 9.x. I am in the process of downloading. Hopefully that will get AV back up and running.
