WEBguard uses too much CPU on downloads, even on Avira Free

Hi,

Whenever I download something, the WEBguard process appears in Task Manager and uses 35% of my CPU (i7 8700). I have the free version of Avira, so it's weird this process appears in the Task Manager.

Is there something I can do about it other than kill the WebGuard service?

Thanks.

EDIT: For now I solved this by going to Control Panel -> Uninstall a program -> Avira Antivirus and then when selected choose 'Change'.

Deselect Web Protection and click next. Let it do its thing.
