  • If you look in:

    C:\ProgramData\HitmanPro.Alert\Logs\Sophos.log

    ...do you see the following lines logged:

    2018-02-22T23:45:22.624Z [Service] Stopping...
    2018-02-22T23:45:23.358Z [Service] Stopped

    I wonder if it stopped gracefully?

    Other evidence of when it stopped would be when Health noticed it.  Either in the log of Health. e.g. C:\ProgramData\Sophos\Health\Logs\Health.log

    2018-02-22T23:46:28.968Z [ 4992] INFO EventPublisher::PostServiceEvent Posting service stopped event: 81c193fe-667b-4050-9d5d-965298a81536 HitmanPro.Alert service
    2018-02-22T23:46:29.221Z [ 4956] INFO DatabaseAccessor::AddEvent Processing event id: 0dc12220-3b45-4d71-a40a-44bddde59163
    2018-02-22T23:46:29.226Z [ 4956] INFO DatabaseAccessor::UpdateHealthCategories Health state has changed to - Overall: 3, Service: 3, Threat: 1

    or in the trail of messages stored here:

    C:\ProgramData\Sophos\Health\Event Store\Trail\

    When the service stops the content of the file would be something like:

    {"id":"0dc12220-3b45-4d71-a40a-44bddde59163","familyId":"81c193fe-667b-4050-9d5d-965298a81536","timeStamp":"2018-02-22T23:46:28Z","app":"SHS","sequence":"0","severity":3,"serviceName":"HitmanPro.Alert service","resourceId":"health.service.stopped","showNotification":true,"updateSummary":true}

    It should be therefore possible to understand when the service stopped.  I would then check the event logs at this time and maybe in \windows\temp\ for log files to see if there was as update.
