Is Avast legit?

Legit

You can trust that Avast is genuine security software with decades behind it, yet the second year of a paid plan can cost more than the first. Plans renew automatically at the regular price and a refund can only be requested within 30 days of the renewal, so overlooking the reminder email can get expensive.

What we checked

  • Founded in Prague in 1988
  • Part of Gen Digital since 2022
  • Same owner as Norton and AVG
  • Ratings on other review websites: 4.5/5

Watch out for

  • A renewal at the full price, noticed only after the 30 days in which a refund can be requested.
  • An email saying your Avast plan renewed for a large sum and pressing you to call a number to cancel.
  • Needing urgent help when the free support route is a web form answered by email, with phone help sold extra.

Charged for an Avast renewal you didn't expect?

We help you write it, it gets its own public page, and you can have it sent to Avast as a formal letter.

Common customer service questions about Avast

How do I file a complaint about Avast?

Do you have a dispute or a bad customer experience with Avast? Report it through our website to maximize the chance of getting it resolved.

We help you write an effective complaint in minutes. Our AI models are trained on thousands of effective complaint letters. Then we push it through emails, social media, paper complaint letters and other tools at our disposal. And you are not alone: our helpful community is there for advice.

How do I contact Avast customer service?

Avast customer service for consumers runs through the support webform on the Avast contact support page, linked in the contact details above: choose the type of question, add the details and any attachment, and Avast replies by email. The webform covers Avast's paid products, and the Avast Forum is the community route for technical questions. Have the email address on your Avast Account, the order number, the product name and the date and amount of any charge ready.

Renewal or license problem to raise? Start your complaint here at the same time, and we push it out to Avast by email, social media and printed letters.

Does Avast have a customer service phone number?

Avast does not list a customer service phone line for its consumer products in the US: its contact support page sends questions about Avast products to the support webform, and replies come by email. If a search result, pop-up or email gives you a number that claims to be Avast support, check it against Avast's own contact page before you call, and never let a caller take remote control of your computer or ask for your card details. Business customers have their own Avast Business support pages.

How do I cancel Avast and get a refund?

To cancel an Avast subscription, turn off auto-renewal or cancel it in the Avast Account linked to the email address you used at purchase, or in the App Store or Google Play if you subscribed on your phone. Avast charges renewals automatically to the stored card or PayPal account, and the charge can come before the anniversary date itself, so watch for the billing reminder Avast sends ahead of it. Avast's subscription page says a refund can be requested from Avast Customer Support within a set period after the first purchase or a renewal; ask through the support webform with the order number, date and amount.

Renewal taken for software you no longer use? Bring it through our complaint process: our trained AI opens a case for you and keeps coaching you on what to reply and when to push again.

Who owns Avast, and where is its head office?

Avast is owned by Gen Digital Inc., the company formed when Avast and NortonLifeLock merged in 2022, which also owns Norton, LifeLock and AVG. Avast says it is co-headquartered in Prague, where it started in 1988, and in Tempe, Arizona, and for US customers the seller named in the Avast license agreement is Gen Digital Inc. in Tempe; the postal address is in the contact details above. A written complaint to head office should name the product, the order number, the charge in dispute and what you want done.

Charged for a product you never installed? Other Avast customers with the same charge can back your case up, and we set yours beside theirs.

Is that Avast renewal email real?

Be suspicious. Avast itself warns that fake emails claim a subscription has renewed or a payment went through, then push you to call a number or click a link to cancel. If you never subscribed, the email is fake. In 2026 a copied Avast refund site also asked visitors for their full card details.

What do people complain about most at Avast?

Nothing has been reported about Avast here yet. Our research shows what typically goes wrong at security software sold by subscription: automatic renewals at a higher price than the first year, refund requests after a renewal, cancellations that do not stop the next charge, licenses that will not activate on a new device, add-ons people did not mean to buy, and support that runs mainly by webform and email.

Renewal on your statement for a plan you thought was switched off? Be the first to report it, and your case opens the record for the next Avast user checking the same charge.

What happens after I submit my complaint?

Your complaint gets its own public page on Complain.biz and we get to work: we bring it to the attention of Avast through emails, social media, paper complaint letters and other tools at our disposal.

And we stay with it after you file. Our trained AI opens a case file for you and keeps coaching: what to reply, when to push again, and how to escalate if nothing happens.

Can other consumers help me with my Avast complaint?

Yes. We have an active community of consumers, and complaints here are public: people who ran into the same problem with Avast can give you advice or back you up with their own story. A complaint with a community behind it is much harder to overlook.
