Error message..Sophos Antivirus is not running

Zaradi1

On my Macbook..which cannot run Mountain Lion...I keep getting an error message that says "Sophos AntiVirus Error..Sophos is not running".  I removed it and did a download of the non Mountain Lion version.  It immediately tried to update and failed.  So I did a manual update and now I'm back to the same problem.  It ran fine before the Mountain Lion updates.  OSX 10.7.5 running Sphos 8.0.8C which is the Mountain Lion version I believe.  On access scanner is off and I find no way of turning it on, I disabled the AutoUpdate, the Live Protection box is checked but grayed out.  So I don't know what to do.  If it keeps updating to the Mountain Lion version I'm really going nowhere.  Any ideas?

    Well I tried something else and it may have worked.  I went to the site and downloaded the version that was NOT 10.8._.  You have two choices...choose the second one.  Download that.  Do the install.  Then you must restart your computer.  So far I haven't seen it again but I haven't been on that computer very much today.  Might be that the restart is necessary to reset something or another.  Now I need to admit that I'm not that sure of my steps.  I may have downloaded it and then restarted before I installed it.  Try it and see what happens.
