What is your anti-virus software?

more options

Avast Free Edition with only 3 agents activated.

Reading your message I tried the option  : disable all agents for 10 min , then trying to write an email and adding an attachment with thunderbird button , and the same hang/freeze occur : the waiting cursor (turning ring) of Windows 7 Pro . I don't have any specific add or customization on my w7pro x64 .

Thanks for your help ...
