Since the last upgrade, Thunderbird stops the entire PC when the popup box appears after all messages have been downloaded.
The last auto upgrade included a calendar function, which I switched off as I thought this was causing the problem. But now after all the messages have downloaded, I get the usual pop-up box in the bottom right of the screen telling me I have received x messages but it only half fades in and the whole PC jams. CTR-ALT-DEL does not work and I can't switch to a different window or even click on anything in the Thunderbird screen. The only thing that I can do is hard reboot the PC and switch off the router, which allows me to start up Thunderbird without anything downloading. I am using Windows 7 and Avast as my AV. Any help would be gratefully appreciated.

Hi Wayne
Thanks for pushing me on this. The alerts have started working this morning. I've had a strange 24 hours being caught up in the Sky/O2 email fiasco and there has been another Thunderbird update (and several Windows updates this week), so I'm not sure what actually fixed it!
Thanks for your help

Still In Windows safe mode, start thunderbird in safe mode - http://support.mozillamessaging.com/en-US/kb/safe-mode
Does problem go away?
Hi Wayne
Thanks for that. I have a work around by switching off the 3 alerts (Tools>options>General), but I'll try your suggestion for the fix and let you know.
