Those are likely the issue. Just ‘closing’ VPN and AV software doesn’t do much, the associated extensions keep running. You need to uninstall that software completely using the developer’s uninstaller.
Tahoe is fine.

Depending on what version of MalwareBytes is installed and used
It does have anti-virus protection plus a VPN

Mac app security enhancements are sufficient to protect computers from malware.
Adware and Malware can affect computers and are often downloaded from “shady” websites or developers who inject them into downloads.

What is malware? - Apple Community
Windows-like viruses that self-replicate and affect macOS don’t exist because of the underlying UNIX Foundation and permission limitations.
The macOS operating system resides in a sealed and read-only volume that can’t be opened by users or third-party applications.
Commercial VPNs
They may not be what one believes they are doing for the computer and what they actually are doing behind the scenes and unbeknownst to the user ( you )
They may also reduce your Internet Speeds by upwards of 30%
