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?

    When is this ever going to end!!!!

    I got the "Sophos is not running" message when I rebooted my Mountain Lion iMac a little while ago. The answer according to postings here is to install 8.0.8.1.

    I downloaded what turned out to be 8.0.8.1C and installed it. It will still not start. Same problem.

    What is the story? This has been going on for different people since at least March.

    I'll do without anti-virus I think. Sophos has only ever picked up a couple in several years and they were Windows.
