Sophos will not run on my MacBook Air

A message appears in a pop-up soon after power up to say that the Sophos Anti Virus is not running. The version is 8.0.8 running on OSX 10.10.

I'm geting the log message: 

com.sophos.intercheck: Fatal Error: Unable to initialise virus detection engine [0x00407d00]
com.sophos.intercheck: Sophos Anti-Virus cannot continue
com.sophos.intercheck:

When I do a scan it fails and I get the following log message:

Anyone help? The software runs fine on my Mac Mini.
