I keep getting a prompt from Windows Defender regarding a security threat from my email : C:\Users\MYUSERNAME\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird\Profiles\3a9dgcsq.default-release\ImapMail\MYDOMAIN\INBOX->(part0131:Shipping_Documents.docx)

I chose Windows Defender to remove this threat, but nothing happens. I have tried to search for the file name, and also tried to look into my inbox, even deleting mail in the inbox with attachments. I then cleared the log of Windows Defender, but this threat still shows up.

I am unable to locate this file. Please advise as I am desperate.

Thanks!

Add C:\Users\MYUSERNAME\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird to Defender's exclusions.
