The last few days some of my emails come in as just a bunch of numbers and symbols is all, others the same but also with the normal email. 

I go to my actual email account and everything is fine, only when it is brought in by Thunderbird to my PC they get messed up.

If you use bitdefender...

Solution update posted at 8:48 Eastern time (12:48 UTC) Thursday by Alexlandru_BD, an admin at bitdefender, "The developers reverted the changes made in the last signature update and this should do the trick until a permanent fix is deployed. Just click on update in systray and reboot once completed. But keep in mind this change is being rolled out gradually, so it may not reach everyone at the same time.."
