How to Prevent your AVG Subscription from Auto-extending?

AVG Technologies is a market leader known for providing highly reliable and effective security solutions to the world. AVG antivirus solutions are demanded as they provide utmost protection to your Windows, Mac, Android and iOS devices. After installing an AVG antivirus on your device, you can be sure of the following:

1. Complete protection against spyware, malware, Trojan horses, Ransomware and other threats


2. Network security


3. Firewall protection


4. Fast speed of your device (due to regular removal of temporary and junk files)

Be it AVG Ultimate, AVG Internet Security, AVG Cleaner for Mac, AVG antivirus for Android or any other product, you need to first purchase the subscription and then download, install and activate it. However, a free trial version of all these AVG products is also available but if you want to have access to the advanced security features, go for a paid one.

Now, every AVG antivirus remains active for a certain period of time and after which it gets expired. Once expired, your device may get vulnerable to the risks of viruses and hacking attacks. To prevent this problem, AVG has enabled auto-renewal or auto-extend feature in all its products.

With this feature, your AVG antivirus subscription will get automatically extended by 15 days prior to the start of the next subscription period. It will automatically charge the amount for the next subscription from the card, the details of which you have provided during the first subscription’s payment. However, you will receive a notification email 45 days before the start of the next subscription.

To avoid this situation, you can simply cancel your AVG antivirus subscription auto-extension by any of the following ways:

1. Via the cancellation link in the notification email sent to your registered email ID


2. Via your AVG MyAccount to handle and manage your orders as well as AVG product subscriptions

• Using email notification
