Avast Care - FAQs

General

What is Avast Care?

Avast Care is a paid service that provides 24/7 premium support by phone for all the Avast products on your Windows PC. Our trained experts are available not only to solve technical issues, but also to get your Avast products set up and running correctly, show you how to use them, and customize them for your needs. Avast Care helps you get the most out of your Avast products for the entire subscription period.

Does Avast Care cover all my Avast products?

You can use your Avast Care subscription to get 24/7 premium support for the following products:

  • Avast Premium Security for Windows (Single-Device and Multi-Device)
  • Avast Cleanup Premium for Windows (Single-Device and Multi-Device)
  • Avast SecureLine VPN for Windows (Multi-Device)
  • Avast AntiTrack Premium for Windows
  • Avast Driver Updater for Windows
Avast Care covers all listed products, even if you did not purchase the product in conjunction with your Avast Care subscription.

What kind of services does Avast Care provide?

Below are some examples of how our Avast Care experts can help you:

  • Expert Install: Our Avast Care experts can help with installing, or re-installing Avast products and setting them up for you.

How will you fix the problem on my computer?

With your permission, our Avast Care experts will remotely access your computer. They can solve most issues remotely, and show you how to best utilize your Avast product features, all from the convenience of your own home.

What is the difference between Avast Care and Avast Support?

Avast Care gives you access to immediate help and advice by phone 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Our Avast Care experts are trained to troubleshoot and fix problems by remotely connecting to your PC. They'll additionally share their expertise to keep your device secure and running smoothly.

The standard Avast Support service does not include remote access troubleshooting. When you contact Avast Support, our support agents can only provide advice or instructions based on your description of the issue. Response times vary depending on the support workload and type of issue.

What is the difference between Avast Care and Avast Premium Tech Support?

Avast Care provides 24/7 premium support exclusively for the Avast products on your Windows PC. This service is specifically designed to complement our most popular Avast products:

  • Avast Premium Security for Windows (Single-Device and Multi-Device)
  • Avast Cleanup Premium for Windows (Single-Device and Multi-Device)
  • Avast SecureLine VPN for Windows (Multi-Device)
  • Avast AntiTrack Premium for Windows
  • Avast Driver Updater for Windows

Avast Premium Tech Support is a comprehensive technical support package that can include assistance for most software and operating system issues, not just our Avast products for Windows. Our Premium Tech Support specialists can help you with common issues such as installing third-party software, connecting devices to your wireless network, keeping your network secure, and ensuring all your devices are protected.

Is Avast Care available in languages other than English?

Currently, Avast Care is only available in English.

Cancellation and refunds

How can I cancel my subscription?

To cancel a continuous subscription:

    • Unsubscribe from Avast Care
  2. Enter your first name, surname, and the email address linked to your purchase.
  3. Type or paste your Order ID.

Can I cancel my Avast Care subscription, but keep my Avast product subscription?

Yes, it is possible to cancel only your Avast Care subscription and keep any other Avast product subscriptions you purchased.

After submitting a cancellation request, an Avast Support representative will contact you to confirm which part of your order you wish to cancel.

Can I keep my Avast Care subscription if I cancel my Avast product subscription?

If you decide to cancel the Avast product subscription that was purchased in conjunction with Avast Care, your whole order will be canceled, including your Avast Care subscription. For example, if you ordered Avast Premium Security plus Avast Care, and you decide to cancel your Avast Premium Security subscription, both your Avast Premium Security and your Avast Care subscriptions will be canceled.
