Frequently Asked Questions

Is the free version of Avast good enough? ⌄

Avast Free Antivirus provides solid basic protection. For most users, Windows Defender (built into Windows 11) combined with safe browsing habits is sufficient. Avast Premium adds VPN, ransomware protection, and webcam shield.

How do I stop Avast from auto-renewing? ⌄

Log in at my.avast.com, go to Subscriptions, and turn off auto-renewal. You can also disable it in the Avast app under Menu → My Subscriptions.

About Avast Subscriptions

Avast Premium Security (~$69.99/year) and Avast One (~$99.99/year) provide antivirus, VPN, and privacy features. Auto-renewal is on by default — cancel before the renewal date to avoid charges. This guide covers these ways to cancel: my.avast.com, Via Avast app.

Before You Cancel Avast

Before cancelling, check a few things: which platform you subscribed on (App Store, Google Play, or the website directly), since you must cancel in the same place you signed up. If you subscribed on the website, cancelling through your iPhone Settings won't work — and vice versa.

Also note your next billing date. Avast doesn't delete your account when you cancel — you keep access until the period ends. Check the refund and fee details above before you cancel: some plans, especially annual contracts, charge an early-termination fee, and most services do not refund unused days.

Can I Resubscribe After Cancelling?

Usually yes — log back in and choose a new plan. How long Avast keeps your data after cancellation depends on its own policy, so check its help pages if you plan to come back.

What If I Can't Find the Cancel Button?

Some services intentionally bury the cancel option. Follow the exact steps above — if you still can't find it, check that you're logged into the correct account (some people have multiple accounts). You can also contact Avast support by chat or email and ask them to cancel; keep the confirmation message until the next billing date has passed.
