Bitdefender reports Trojan within Thunderbird profile
Today I ran Bitfender antivirus and I get a warning that a threat has been Blocked, but not successfully resolved and therefore requires manual removal..
The threat is in the path C:users\myname\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird\profiles\8ogj291r.default-release\mapmail\imap.gmail-2.com\Inbox=>(message 924)#[subject:xx~
If I try to delete the sub directory highlighted in bold above, Thunderbird won't run.
How can I remove this threat. Do you have any tips please,

I seems that your antivirus might of picked up a virus in one of the emails in your inbox, maybe try clear your inbox.
you are trying to delete your mail from gmail. But hey if that is what you want to do.
I would suggest you try deleting the email in Thunderbird that has the subject mentioned in the report... or do nothing. Text files at rest are basically not a risk anyway.
