Unable to Uninstall Avira for Mac

I tried the free version of Avira for Mac, but decided to not use it.
So I uninstalled it according to instructions.
I thought it was gone…

Now today I installed a new browser, and it asks me if I want to load:
– Avira Password Manager
– Avira Safe Shopping
– Avira Browser Safety

So they are apparently still on my computer wanting access to things!
I have searched everywhere for anything named Avira without finding anything.

I have just gone through the process of uninstalling another virus software through Terminal and Recovery Mode unlocking csrutil, so I would much appreciate getting the Terminal commands needed in plain text for Avira, too, thank you!
( I saw there is some script to delete left over files, but I rather do it by hand, so that I see what is done!)
Please help, as it feels very unsetteling to have unseen things doing things on my computer!

I have a brand new Mac with M1 and Monterey 12.4.
Thank you for your assistance!

  Hello!

  I have found and read all the instructions available, and found the script for uninstalling leftover files.
  That is why I would rather do it by hand in the Terminal, as I do not feel comfortable with a script doing things – as this is in fact what feels uncomfortable with still having avira files om my computer, after deleting them with uninstall program and according to instructions.
  
  No, I don't have an account or an installation as I thought I hade deleted it…
  You could please send needed commands to my mail adress as it is in my account, if there is some concern over privacy?
  
  Thank you for your kind assistance!
