Frequently asked questions
Cancel Avast: Step-by-Step Guide
How to cancel Avast in the philippines and reclaim control of your billing
Why you need to cancel Avast before the next charge hits your account
Avast has protected devices worldwide since 1988, but Filipino users frequently discover unwanted charges on their credit cards after the free trial period ends. The company converts trial subscriptions to paid plans automatically, and renewal charges can be deducted up to 35 days before your anniversary date. Understanding why you want to cancel-and acting quickly-protects your wallet and your account security. Yafee helps thousands of Filipino consumers navigate subscription cancellations with confidence and clarity.
What Avast charges for in the philippines
Avast sells multiple paid products directly to Filipino customers in Philippine pesos, eliminating exchange-rate uncertainty. Your subscription likely falls into one of these categories:
| Avast product | What you get | Annual price (PHP) |
|---|---|---|
| Avast Premium Security (1 device) | Antivirus, malware detection, firewall protection | ₱690.00 |
| Avast Premium Security (10 devices) | Antivirus across multiple devices | ₱990.00 |
| Avast Ultimate (10 devices) | Premium security plus VPN and browser tools | ₱1,190.00 |
| Avast SecureLine VPN | VPN encryption only | ₱890.00 |
| Avast Secure Browser PRO | Privacy-focused browser with security features | ₱630.00 |
| Free trial | Limited access, converts to paid subscription automatically | Charged after trial period ends |
Why cancellation feels difficult in the philippines
Avast maintains a Philippines-specific support presence, but the company's cancellation system is deliberately layered-you must navigate your account dashboard, locate your subscription, and pass through multiple confirmation screens. Filipino users report that cancelling in the wrong location (such as the app instead of the online account portal) leaves your subscription active. When you save a payment method to your free trial, Avast converts it automatically to a paid plan once the trial expires, then charges you without requesting fresh confirmation.
The biggest gap: Avast processes formal cancellations through its Prague headquarters, which delays response times for Filipino customers. Yafee has documented cases where users believed they had cancelled successfully, only to discover charges months later. This guide ensures you cancel through the correct channel the first time.
Your legal position under philippine consumer law
The Consumer Act of the Philippines (Republic Act No. 7394) establishes your rights when dealing with international subscription services like Avast.
What the consumer act of the philippines guarantees
Under the Consumer Act, Avast must provide transparent information about subscription terms before you pay, supply you with a straightforward cancellation method, and honour your cancellation request without delay or hidden cancellation fees. If the company charges you after you have cancelled, you possess the legal right to dispute those charges and demand a full refund plus interest. You also retain the right to cancel any subscription within 14 days of purchase under the law's cooling-off period, even if you have already used the service.
The company cannot charge you unless you have explicitly authorised the charge in writing. Auto-renewal is permitted only when you have given clear, informed consent-consent that Avast must document and make accessible to you.
Your legal position
You own the right to cancel your Avast subscription at any time without penalty. The company must process your cancellation within 5 business days. If Avast continues to charge you after you have cancelled, you can lodge a complaint with the National Privacy Commission (NPC) or the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) Consumer Protection Group. Yafee recommends preserving all cancellation confirmations and charge records as evidence.
Methods to cancel your Avast subscription from the philippines
You have three cancellation routes; the online account method is fastest, but mail and email provide documented proof.
Cancel Avast through your online account dashboard
The online method is the quickest route and generates an instant confirmation email.
- Log into your Avast account at avast.com/account
- Enter your email address and password
- If you have forgotten your password, click "Forgot password?" and follow the reset link sent to your email
- Navigate to your account dashboard
- Look for "My products" or "Subscriptions" in the left menu
- Select the subscription you want to cancel (Premium Security, Ultimate, VPN, etc.)
- Locate the cancellation option
- Click "Manage Subscription" or "View Details"
- Scroll to the bottom of the subscription page
- Click "Cancel Subscription" (the button text may vary slightly)
- Confirm your cancellation
- Avast will ask you why you are cancelling-you do not have to answer, but feedback helps them improve
- Select "Yes, cancel my subscription" on the final confirmation screen
- Screenshot or note the confirmation number displayed
- Verify cancellation
- Check your email for a cancellation confirmation message from Avast
- Your subscription status should show "Cancelled" or "Active until [date]" in your account dashboard
Cancel Avast by email
Email cancellation creates a written record and works well if you are outside business hours or prefer written confirmation.
- Compose a new email to Avast support
- Send your message to [email protected] or the support email listed in your account dashboard
- Use the subject line: "Subscription Cancellation Request - [Your Email Address]"
- Include the following information in your email body
- Your full name as it appears on the Avast account
- The email address associated with your Avast account
- Your subscription product (e.g., Avast Premium Security, Avast Ultimate)
- Your billing cycle end date (found in your account dashboard)
- A statement: "I request immediate cancellation of my subscription effective today"
- Send the email and wait for confirmation
- Avast typically replies within 3 to 5 business days
- Save the confirmation email as proof of your cancellation request
Cancel Avast by registered mail
Formal mail cancellation creates an official record and is your strongest proof under Philippine consumer law.
- Prepare your cancellation letter
- Write a formal letter on your letterhead or plain paper with your details at the top
- Include the date, your full name, the email address on your Avast account, and your subscription product
- State clearly: "I hereby cancel my Avast subscription effective immediately and request a confirmation of cancellation"
- Keep a copy for your records
- Send your letter to Avast's registered office
- Address your envelope to: Avast Software s.r.o., Pikrtova 1900/14a, 140 00 Prague 4, Czech Republic
- Use registered mail with a return receipt so you have proof of delivery
- The journey takes 10 to 14 days to Prague
- Follow up if necessary
- After 3 weeks, log into your account dashboard to verify cancellation status
- If your account still shows an active subscription, send a follow-up email to [email protected] with the registered mail tracking number
What happens immediately after you cancel
Your cancellation takes effect on the date you submit it through any method, but understanding the timeline prevents confusion.
Your subscription status after cancellation
Once you submit your cancellation through the online account, email, or mail, Avast immediately stops processing future charges. However, if you are within your current billing cycle, your subscription remains active until your current period expires. For example, if you purchased an annual subscription in January and cancel in June, your protection continues until January of the following year, but no renewal charge is deducted. You do not receive a refund for unused time in the current billing period unless you fall within the 14-day cooling-off window.
Preventing accidental reactivation
After you cancel, update your payment method status immediately:
- Log into your Avast account dashboard
- Navigate to "Payment Methods" or "Billing"
- Remove the credit card, debit card, or PayPal account you used for the subscription
- This prevents Avast from storing your payment details for future charges
Obtaining a refund under philippine consumer law
You qualify for a refund in specific circumstances, and Yafee guides you through the claim process.
When you have the right to a refund
You are entitled to a refund if you cancel within 14 days of your initial purchase, regardless of whether you have used the subscription. This is your cooling-off period under the Consumer Act. You also qualify for a refund if Avast charged you after you had already submitted a cancellation request. If the company failed to honour your cancellation within the legal timeframe, you can claim damages in addition to your refund.
How to request a refund
- Gather your evidence
- Your original purchase receipt (email or invoice)
- Your cancellation confirmation from Avast (email confirmation or screenshot)
- Bank or credit card statements showing the charges
- Any correspondence with Avast support
- Contact Avast support with a formal refund request
- Email [email protected] with the subject: "Refund Request - [Your Email Address] - [Date of Purchase]"
- State that you are requesting a refund under your consumer rights and cite Republic Act No. 7394
- Attach or reference all supporting documents
- Request a written response within 14 days
- Escalate if Avast refuses
- If Avast denies your refund or does not respond within 14 days, file a complaint with the National Privacy Commission (NPC) at www.privacy.gov.ph
- You may also contact the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) Consumer Protection Group: (02) 8231-5061
- Provide all evidence of your cancellation and the charges in dispute
Common cancellation mistakes and how to avoid them
You are not alone if your first cancellation attempt failed-Yafee has identified the five errors that trap Filipino users into continued charges.
Cancelling in the wrong location
Avast offers multiple entry points, and cancelling in the wrong one leaves your subscription active. Uninstalling the Avast app does not cancel your subscription. Disabling notifications does not cancel your subscription. Only the online account dashboard, email, or formal mail cancellations are binding. If you cancelled through the app or your device settings, log into your account dashboard immediately and cancel there as well.
Assuming your free trial is not connected to a payment method
Many Filipino users register for a free trial and assume they can ignore it. Avast automatically converts free trials into paid subscriptions the moment the trial period ends, provided you have saved a payment method. Review your account dashboard now-if your status shows a free trial with a stored credit card, your trial will convert to a paid subscription. Cancel before the conversion date arrives.
Not saving your cancellation confirmation
Yafee emphasises this point repeatedly: screenshot or download your cancellation confirmation email. If you cancel online, note the confirmation number. If Avast charges you again after cancellation, you need proof that you submitted the request. Without documentation, disputing the charge becomes much harder. Save your confirmation to a folder titled "Avast Cancellation" alongside any receipts or billing statements.
Waiting too long to act on unwanted charges
The moment you see an Avast charge you did not authorise, contact your bank or credit card company to dispute it. Do not wait more than 60 days after the charge appears on your statement-most banks require disputes to be filed within this window. Your bank will provisionally refund the amount while they investigate. Simultaneously, submit your cancellation request to Avast and file a complaint with the DTI if Avast refuses to cancel or refund.
Trusting verbal cancellations
If you spoke to an Avast support representative by chat or phone, follow up immediately with an email requesting confirmation of your cancellation request. Support staff may note your request in their system, but written confirmation protects you legally. A verbal cancellation acknowledged by a support agent is not enough to satisfy the Consumer Act's requirement for a documented, honourable cancellation method.
Should you keep or cancel your Avast subscription
Cancellation is right for you if you have found better protection elsewhere, cannot afford the renewal, or discovered you do not need the features Avast offers.
| Reason to cancel | Reason to keep |
|---|---|
| You chose a better antivirus solution (Norton, Bitdefender, Kaspersky) | You are satisfied with Avast's protection and speed |
| The annual fee (₱690-₱1,190) is no longer affordable | You depend on Avast's VPN or Secure Browser features |
| Avast slowed down your device significantly | You have no alternative security solution installed |
| You found free antivirus (Windows Defender, Avast Free) meets your needs | Your work or banking requires premium-level protection |
| You cancelled but were charged again without consent | You have multiple devices and the multi-device plan saves money |
| You did not authorise the auto-renewal in the first place | Your device has been attacked before and you fear repeat infections |
Cancellation address and formal contact information
All cancellation routes eventually connect to Avast's global headquarters, but Filipino customers should know the correct addresses and channels.
Send formal cancellation letters to this address
For registered mail or formal letter cancellations:
Avast Software s.r.o.
Pikrtova 1900/14a
140 00 Prague 4
Czech Republic
Yafee recommends using registered mail with a return receipt so you possess proof of delivery. Allow 10 to 14 business days for the letter to arrive and 5 to 7 additional business days for Avast to process your cancellation.
Use email for faster cancellation
Send your cancellation request to [email protected]. Include your account email, subscription type, and a clear statement requesting immediate cancellation. Avast typically responds within 3 to 5 business days. If you do not receive a confirmation, follow up with another email referencing the date and time of your original request.
For immediate help in the philippines
While Avast does maintain Philippines-specific support resources, the AvastSG Vision Inc. office provides regional assistance but does not process cancellations directly. Contact Avast's main support team via email or your online account dashboard for the fastest resolution. Yafee has helped thousands of consumers cancel Avast subscriptions by combining the online method with email confirmation-this dual approach ensures your cancellation is documented and processed.
