What is your anti-virus software?

I'm using AVG Internet Security 2015 and I should perhaps also mention that I have a chosen few Thunderbird add-ons (adblock, email security and a few others) installed and that it works "so-so" when I run Thunderbird in "safe mode".

What your saying is your add-on collection is a part of the problem, re enable one at a time to work out which has the issues.
