I just got a new computer with Windows 8, downloaded the newest Thunderbird, and it is very slow, often giving "Not responding" messages with prolonged delays

I have a trial version of MacAfee that came with the computer. It was so slow, that I ended up REstoring my computer back to factory settings today...I reinstalled Mozilla, and it seemed OK initially, but it is already becoming very slow again.
