How do AVG subscriptions work?

AVG applications are sold as continuous subscriptions. This means your subscription renews at the end of each billing cycle unless you manually cancel it.

The date of payment varies according to your purchased subscription type:

• 1, 2, and 3-year subscriptions: You are charged 35 days before the start of the next billing cycle.

Why was I charged for a free-trial version of an AVG app?

When you activate a free-trial version of an AVG product, you are sometimes prompted to enter payment details. This is called a pre-authorized trial. 3 days before a pre-authorized trial ends, you are charged the price of a 1-year subscription for the relevant product. If you cancel your subscription before the pre-authorized trial ends, you are not charged. Before payment is taken, you receive a notification email from AVG, which informs you about the upcoming charge and contains instructions to cancel your subscription.
