Problems using Avast with Thunderbird

[system]

Since installing Avast, my Thunderbird is extremely slow sending emails, and sometimes fails to send them altogether.

I have been using an email with an attached file of 800mB to test this.

With Avast connected, it takes 6 minutes or more for the email to be sent, and sometimes it does not go at all.

I disconnected Avast, installed Microsoft Security Essentials, and the email went in 50 seconds.

I sent the same file from the web server, and it went in 20 seconds

I sent it using Windows Live with Avast connected (MSE disconnected) and it went in 50 seconds.

So clearly, there is a clash between Avast and Thunderbird.

Any suggestions as to how this can be rectified welcome.

There is a known problem between Thunderbird 31 and avast.
For now, use a older version of Thunderbird and wait till the developers have solved it.

I was using an older version (not sure which one) until today and the problem has been there for some time. I only installed v.31 today
