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?

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

Try to start *Windows* in safe mode with networking enabled. - Win10 http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-10/change-startup-settings-in-windows-10#v1h=tab01 - Win8 http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-8/windows-startup-settings-including-safe-mode - Win7 http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Start-your-computer-in-safe-mode

Still in Windows safe mode, start Thunderbird in safe mode. - https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/safe-mode

Does the problem go away?
