Guess I'd start by asking over in the Avira forums (forum.avira.com).
Could be a new "feature" was added and enabled by default and you'll
have to disable the new option. Avast used to have a Behavior Shield

it active it started causing problems and some users had to change its
settings (which weren't there before when it was passive).
