Is AVG also running on the laptop? Will you have to AVG or THunderbird update recently? Gmail is not an email client, so it is not accessing your Comcast account from the same server that Thunderbird does. This means that this is not a valid exam.

You could review the settings in AVG, clearing any reference to Thunderbird (with the email client closed), then rebooting the system and restarting Thunderbird so AVG will add it to the approved list.
