My best advice—If you have no issues....
Uninstall all third party apps that are Cleaners/Optimizers/Anti-Virus/VPN and compare you results.

What anti-virus...?
If you suspect you have installed adware/malware:
>System Preferences>Profiles click into it and then remove all the suspicious things from the list. (This Preference pane will not be present if no profiles found.)
also Verify you are not using SOCKS proxy:
>System Preferences>Networks>Advanced>Proxy uncheck the box
Adware/malware launch daemons can set SOCKS proxies without user participation.
(SOCKS is an Internet protocol that exchanges network packets between a client and server through a proxy server.)
Typically third party Anti-Virus does nothing but add issues and compete directly with Apple’s® own built in Security:

Yeah, it's probably just faking the virus, because i dont see it in my finder in the most vulnerable places.
OOOOHHHHHHH, so Avira is bad?
It was avira files that were taking up space! Dont use avira
