  4. 4

    Update your payment method if needed

    If your card has expired or changed, go to the Billing section and update your payment details before the renewal date to avoid a failed charge.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about renewing AVG subscriptions.

1Will AVG renew automatically?
Yes, by default AVG subscriptions are set to auto-renew. AVG sends a reminder email before the renewal date. You can turn off auto-renewal at any time from my.avg.com under My Subscriptions.
2How far in advance does AVG charge for renewal?
AVG typically charges on or just before the renewal date. You should receive an email reminder 30 days before the renewal. Check your spam folder if you did not receive one.
3What happens if my payment fails on renewal?
If the renewal payment fails, AVG will usually retry the charge and send you an email asking you to update your payment method. Your protection may lapse if the payment is not resolved.
4Can I switch to a different AVG plan on renewal?
Yes. Instead of renewing the same plan, you can purchase a different AVG product from avg.com. Your existing subscription will expire at its end date and the new one will start immediately.
