Thunderbird trying to contact gmail on its own repeatedly

gabatsns · Jul 31, 2009

At so far un-explainable times ( both when It is idle and when I am surfing and interacting with web pages ) T-bird will open and try to connect to my gmail account ( whichI have fortunately not given my password so its stuck at the password window) and if not closed or interacted with will continue periodically to open multiple instances of t-bird and its password request window to gmail. Sometimes twenty ormore instances at once. [ The last instance was while registering for this forum just after I typed in my email address ( possible co-incidence?)]

Attached are both the startup list and the process list from hijack this.

Any help figuring this one out will be appreciated I am stumped.

This is the startup list from hijack this....

I seriously doubt this is a malware issue. It is more likely a setting you have in T-bird. If you want us to check for malware you need to do what Halo linked you to when he edited and approved your post.
