Thunderbird is not responding and I can't force quit using task manager (win7) UNSOLVED

I'm trying to send a somewhat large file as an attachment. Thunderbird gets hung up and stops responding. I tried force quitting from task manager (both the software and the process) and it won't quit. Short of unplugging the computer, how do I get Thunderbird to quite?

What is your anti-virus software?

I use Malabytes anti-virus. Have used for awhile and never had this problem.
