How to cancel ESET

Turn off auto-renewal in the ESET eStore (ESET HOME's Manage subscription button takes you there): verify your email, then switch off the Auto-renewal toggle. The subscription runs to the end of the period. Google Play and distributor purchases are handled there. Gotcha: renewal conditions differ by country.

For AI agents

  • The person signs in and handles any two-factor code; an agent should never ask for a password.
  • Auto-renewal can't be turned off in the eStore until you verify the purchase email
  • ESET HOME doesn't turn off renewal itself: its Manage subscription button opens the eStore or Google Play
  • Some subscriptions can only be changed by the distributor that sold them
  • After a successful renewal ESET emails the transaction details and invoice

Get this plan as data: get_exit_plan on the Stackcut MCP (stackcut.io/mcp), or /exits/eset.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).
