Actually TB does a search scan to look for potential plugins. Yor need to 
find the programs the have NP plugin files als delete the file. Make note 
the the program so updates are checked for file replacement and deletion. 
Adobe Acrobat is like that with FF. TB does it with Flash even tho the 
User did not need it.

So, is there a way to change where/how it does this scan? Even turn it off?

The plugins are disabled, so it really doesn't matter that they are listed.

First to disable plugins, you need to go to:

Tools >> Add-Ons

Now you can disable the plugins from this window.  You can't delete or 
remove from this window but there might be a way to remove from the 
preferences file but I don't use any plugins or extensions so I haven't 
tried it.

Are there any plugins that you are not able to deactivate?

Mozilla used to bundle some plugins to make User's experience manageable 
using TB so that some features are available without getting frustrated.

In step 7 select "Delete"

Plugins (not extensions) are actually installed and removed
independently of Thunderbird and other Mozilla-based applications.  If
you installed an application that provides a plugin, Thunderbird will
find it.  To remove a plugin, you must use the "Programs and Features"
capability reached through the Windows Control Panel.  That will remove
both the plugin and the application that provided it.

Of course, you can use Thunderbird's Add-ons Manager to get the name of
the plugin's file, usually ending in ".dll".  Then do a windows search
for that file and delete it.  If that totally corrupts your system, too
bad.
