Avira provides trusted antivirus and security solutions to keep your devices safe. However, if you no longer need your Avira plan or want to stop automatic renewals, you can easily cancel your subscription at any time. This guide walks you through the steps to cancel or disable Avira auto-renewal—whether you purchased directly from Avira, a reseller, or an app store.
1. How to Cancel Your Avira Subscription (Purchased via Avira Website)
If you bought your subscription directly from the Avira website, follow these steps:
Step-by-Step:
- Visit the official Avira website: https://support.avira.com.
- Log in using the email address associated with your Avira account.
- Click on “Subscriptions” in your dashboard.
- Select the active plan you want to cancel.
- Choose “Cancel Subscription” or toggle “Auto-Renewal” to Off.
- Confirm your cancellation when prompted.
2. Canceling an Avira Subscription Purchased via a Third-Party
If you purchased your Avira subscription from another platform, cancellation must be done through that provider.
If Purchased via Google Play Store (Android):
- Open the Google Play Store app.
- Tap your profile icon → Payments & Subscriptions → Subscriptions.
- Find Avira in the list.
- Tap Cancel Subscription and confirm.
If Purchased via Apple App Store (iOS):
- Open Settings on your iPhone or iPad.
- Tap your Apple ID → Subscriptions.
- Select Avira Security.
- Tap Cancel Subscription and confirm.
If Purchased via Another Reseller:
- Visit the reseller’s website or contact their customer service for cancellation instructions.
- You may need to provide your order number or email address used during purchase.
3. Confirming Cancellation
After canceling, you’ll receive a confirmation email from Avira or your payment provider.
You can log back into your Avira account anytime to verify that auto-renewal is disabled.
4. What Happens After Cancellation
- Your Avira plan remains active until the end of the current subscription period.
- You can continue to use all Premium features during that time.
- Once it expires, your plan will automatically revert to the free version (Avira Free Security).
If you change your mind, you can always reactivate your subscription or purchase a new one later.
