Earlier today I updated my Thunderbird Portable (13.0.1), in response to the automatic update alert. When it was done, I lost my Lightning Portable (Adds-On) and AVG Email Scanner protection due to "incompatibility".

Twelve hours later I got my Lightning Portable back. Thanks for the quick fix!

However, AVG Email Scanner protection remains disabled because "it is incompatible with Thunderbird 13.0.1". I would be grateful for any advice on how to solve this problem.

I think the only thing you can do is to ask AVG to update their plugin. I know there are hacks to make it work nevertheless but I wouldnt use them with a security-related addon like the one here.
