Activity Monitor Process

I recently purchased the new 14" M1 Pro and in the activity monitor, there is a process called "net.protected.macos.AVHelper" and it is using a significant amount of memory. Does anyone know what this might be?

I have TotalAV. Initials make sense now. No longer need it so defiantly going to uninstall it.
