How to Cancel Avast (2026)
Quick answer
Avast subscriptions renew automatically. To stop future charges, sign in to your Avast Account, open Manage subscriptions, and click Unsubscribe to turn off automatic renewal — your protection stays active until the end of your current paid term. Canceling renewal does NOT give you money back. Avast offers a 30-day money-back guarantee, so if you want a refund, you must request one from Avast Customer Support within 30 days of the payment.

Avast Customer Support (required for refunds)
- 1Understand: canceling renewal ≠ refundWhen you cancel the renewal of an Avast subscription, no refund applies automatically. To get money back you must specifically request a refund within the guarantee window.
- 2Request a refund within 30 daysContact Avast Customer Support through support.avast.com and request a refund under the 30-day money-back guarantee. Card/PayPal refunds take up to 7 business days; other methods up to 14 business days.
Google Play / App Store (mobile purchases)
- 1Cancel through the store you bought fromIf a store (not Avast) processed your purchase, cancel via Google Play (Play Store > Subscriptions) or the Apple App Store (Settings > your name > Subscriptions). Those stores manage billing and refunds under their own rules.
⏰ Deadline
Turn off automatic renewal before your next billing date to avoid being charged for the renewal. For a refund, request it within 30 days of the payment.
💵 Fees
No cancellation fee. Turning off auto-renewal simply stops the next charge.
↩️ Refunds
Avast offers a 30-day money-back guarantee. If you are not satisfied, contact Avast Customer Support within 30 days of payment to request a full refund — this applies to subscriptions bought from the Avast website, the Avast app on Windows or Mac, or Google Play. Canceling renewal by itself does not trigger a refund; you must request it. Refunds take up to 7 business days for credit/debit card or PayPal payments, and up to 14 business days for other payment methods.
Avast cancellation — FAQ
Does unsubscribing cancel my protection immediately?
No. Your Avast protection stays active until the end of the term you already paid for. After that, it simply won't renew.
I turned off auto-renewal — why didn't I get a refund?
Canceling the renewal only stops future charges; it does not refund a charge you already paid. To get money back, contact Avast Customer Support and request a refund within the 30-day money-back guarantee window.
I bought Avast through Google Play or the App Store — where do I cancel?
Cancel and request refunds through that store (Google Play > Subscriptions, or App Store > Settings > your name > Subscriptions). Store purchases are billed and refunded by Google or Apple, not Avast.
