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 every platform — my.avast.com, Via Avast app — so you can cancel from whichever device you have handy.

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. There's no penalty for cancelling early, but you won't get a refund for unused days unless stated in the refund policy above.

Can I Resubscribe After Cancelling?

Yes — you can resubscribe to Avast at any time. Your account data, preferences, and history are typically preserved for 30–90 days after cancellation, depending on the service. Simply log back in and choose a new plan.

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 directly and request cancellation via chat or email — they are legally required to process it.
