Canceling an AVG subscription - FAQs

When should I cancel my AVG subscription if I don't want to be charged?

The information in this section applies for subscriptions purchased via the official AVG website, or via any AVG application on your PC or Mac.

If you no longer want to use a paid AVG product, you need to cancel your subscription before the next billing date to stop future charges.

Your billing date varies according to the type of subscription that you purchased:

  • 1, 2, and 3-year subscriptions: Your billing date can be up to 35 days before the start of the next subscription period (for another 1 year).
  • Monthly subscriptions: Your billing date is 7 days before the expiration date for Digital River.
  • AVG trial subscriptions: Your billing date is the final day of your free-trial period.

You can confirm your next billing date in the following places:

  • The reminder email that you receive from notification@emails.avg.com or no.reply@avg.com. We always notify you in advance by email before you are charged for an AVG subscription.
  • Your AVG Account that is linked to the email address you provided during the subscription purchase. The next billing date for each subscription is visible on the My subscriptions screen next to Next charge.

If your payment cannot be processed in the regular billing period before your current AVG subscription expires, we try to complete your pending payment up to 14 days after the expiration date.
