Try excluding the SeaMonkey profile folder from the real-time protection

It appears that SM opens a heck of a lot of individual files at startup,
and at various times during use, and some anti-virus programs with
real-time protection can cause long freezes while all the files are
checked.
I know this then becomes a security issue, but it's either that or
ceasing to run SeaMonkey.
SeaMonkey never used to play this badly, so I'm hopeful that someone
someday will find the problem and fix it.

Peter, SM keeps all its emails (inbox) in one file called inbox without
a subscript. All your emails go into this folder until you move them
into another folder. Even if you delete some emails, they are not
deleted from the inbox file until you "Empty Trash" and "Compact Folders".
If you do not "Empty Trash" and "Compact Folders", your "inbox" can
become huge. If you then have your inbox folder scanned by your
anti-virus program, it can take some time, causing it to seem that your
SM has frozen.
Peter, it is my understanding that as you use SM to get your email,
there is no need for the email to be scanned!
