Avast Antivirus keeps connecting me to his VPN

So i few months ago I got a virus and since I had school the next day I recurred to the only free VPN I knew, avast. Fast forward today, I noticed it also has an vpn which connects me automatically and even if I turn it off from the Wi-Fi settings on the mac, it connects me again and slows my internet speed by a lot. So in a few words how do I stop it from connecting me to their VPN?

Did you ever figure this out? ;/

Same here. really pissing me off. wish somebody helped you so I could also be helped.
