Does aVPN need remote access

This is the second time I'm asking this. All of my previous post were deleted.

I have Avira Antivirus. It was disabled on my computer by someone who configured my computer for remote access and file sharing. They then corrupted my laptops. Three of them.

I downloaded a new copy of Avira and installed it when I discovered that it had been disabled and I was unable to do anything.

After installing Avira I activated Online Shield VPN. When I did Avira downloaded Steganos Online Shield to my computer. I installed and activated it. Because I like what it was suppose to do I bought full protection.

I had disabled all remote access in Computer Management Services and blocked Remote Access and file sharing in Windows 10 Firewall because I have been remotely accessed by a stalker for years.

After Steganos installed I noticed that Remote Acess was enabled in Services and Remote Access and File Sharing were unblocked in the firewall.

Does a VPN need remote access to protect my wifi network which Windows setup as a Public Network.
