Reporting a spam or scam email to Avast

Android, ChromeOS, iOS, Mac, Windows

You can report a spam or scam email to Avast to help us improve our products. We have seen an increase in subscription renewal scams where identity thieves send fake emails in hopes you will click on a malicious link.

It is preferred to send the email samples as an attachment to avoid the loss of key content of the message which is required for analysis.

  • Email submissions are subject to manual or automated review.

  • The spam@avast.com email address does not send additional updates.

  1. Open your email client.

  2. Right-click on the spam or scam email message and select Forward as Attachment from the drop-down menu.

  3. In the To field, type spam@avast.com.

  4. In the Subject field, include the case number provided by the Avast Support agent if you have one.

  5. Click Send.

Drag and drop the email

  1. Open your email client.

  2. Create a new, blank email message addressed to spam@avast.com.
