Sophos for Mac on-access scanning disabled.

Hello. I have Sophos for mac v 8.16c. For whatever reason, I was working and on-access scanning was randomly disabled. I went into the preferences and I can't re-enable on-access scanning, even with administrator privaleges. I have tried restarting my computer and reinstalling sophos,  but none of those fixed my issue. Can anybody help me with my problem?

I forgot to mention, I am running Mac OSX 10.8.4
