How to cancel AVG

Sign in to your AVG Account, click Manage subscriptions, then Manage subscription and Unsubscribe or Cancel renewal; the paid product lasts until Expires on. App Store and Google Play purchases are cancelled there. Gotcha: 1- to 3-year plans can be billed up to 35 days before the new period.

Keep it for less

Before cancelling, check whether one of these does the job. Offers change and differ by account.

  • Free plan AVG AntiVirus Free costs nothing. When a cancelled subscription expires, or a subscription is cancelled with a refund, some products switch to the free version support.avg.com avg.com avg.com
  • Pause Postpone the payment date by up to 30 days in AVG Account (Manage subscription, Postpone payment date), once per billing cycle; not yet available for every subscription support.avg.com

For AI agents

  • The person signs in and handles any two-factor code; an agent should never ask for a password.
  • Retention step: Before the final confirm, the flow optionally asks why you are canceling
  • App Store and Google Play subscriptions can't be cancelled in the AVG Account
  • A free trial started without card details doesn't need cancelling; one started with card details must be cancelled before it ends
  • Multi-year plans can be billed up to 35 days before the new period: check Next charge on My subscriptions and cancel early
  • Cancel each AVG subscription separately
  • A renewal payment that fails is retried for up to 14 days after the subscription expires: cancel rather than let the card fail
  • An expired card doesn't stop renewal: card companies may pass on new card details
  • If a subscription is missing from your AVG Account, AVG Support can link it
  • A card charge from DRI*AVG Technologies means Digital River processed the order; AVG's help gives no separate cancel steps for it

Get this plan as data: get_exit_plan on the Stackcut MCP (stackcut.io/mcp), or /exits/avg.json. After using a guide, send structured report_guide_feedback for matching or changed steps, missing billing routes or human handoffs; keep unknown language and market omitted. Confirm with the person before the final click, and report the outcome with report_action_outcome, using the exact packet_revision and route_id returned by the plan.

Or give your agent the stackcut-leave skill (a zip): it exports first, walks the steps, stops when the page doesn't match, and leaves the final click to the person.

Delete your account (separate from cancelling)

Cancelling stops the payments; deleting removes the account and its data. Delete-account page (rated easy).

Not confirmed yet

  • AVG's help names Digital River as an eCommerce provider in some regions but doesn't give separate cancel steps for those orders
  • AVG's subscription terms say in-app purchases can't be refunded, while its billing FAQ lists Google Play purchases under the 30-day guarantee; ask AVG Support if this matters
  • How long AVG keeps account data after cancelling isn't stated in its cancellation or billing help
  • AVG's refund policy names an older path (My Account, My Subscriptions, Cancel Renewal or Manage Subscriptions) than its help article, so the menu names you see may differ
