How to Cancel a Malwarebytes Subscription

Direct answer

Stopping renewal and getting a refund are separate actions. Eligible customers who bought a new Malwarebytes for Home consumer subscription directly from Malwarebytes may request cancellation and a refund within 60 days of purchase. The 60-day money-back guarantee does not apply to renewals or Malwarebytes Personal Data Removal purchases. Review the refund terms and exclusions

Before you make changes, find the receipt or billing confirmation. It can help you identify the seller, product, purchase date, account email, and order number. These details help you choose the right route and ask informed questions about a refund.

If you bought Malwarebytes through a retail store, the Apple App Store, Google Play, or another third-party vendor, contact that vendor for information about its refund policy. For cancellation or renewal management, follow that seller’s own documented process rather than treating the Malwarebytes EULA as a universal third-party procedure. See the third-party purchase guidance

Steps to solve it

Start by confirming who processed the purchase. Check the receipt, order email, bank statement, or card statement. A Malwarebytes product may be sold through a store or app marketplace rather than directly by Malwarebytes.

Use this checklist as you work through the cancellation:

• •Find the email address used for the subscription purchase.
• •Locate the order number, if the receipt shows one.
• •Note the purchase date and product name.
• •Identify whether Malwarebytes or another seller processed payment.
• •If Malwarebytes billed you directly, turn off auto-renewal in MyAccount or contact Malwarebytes support. See the EULA
• •If another seller billed you, use that seller’s cancellation instructions and contact it about its refund policy. Read the third-party guidance
• •Keep written confirmation of the outcome.

For a direct Malwarebytes purchase, do not treat a refund request as the only way to stop future renewal. First, turn off auto-renewal through MyAccount or contact Malwarebytes support. If you also seek a refund, check whether the order meets the separate 60-day money-back-guarantee conditions. Review the official terms

The 60-day policy is limited to eligible new Malwarebytes for Home consumer subscriptions purchased directly from Malwarebytes. It does not cover renewals, even if a renewal charge was recent. It also does not apply to Malwarebytes Personal Data Removal purchases. See the documented limitations

For purchases through another seller, use the receipt to identify that seller. Malwarebytes directs customers who bought through third-party vendors, including retail stores, Apple App Store, and Google Play, to contact those vendors for information about refund policies. Read the purchase-channel terms

Before you request a refund

“Cancellation” can mean different things. You may only want to prevent the next automatic renewal. You may also want to ask whether a recent direct purchase qualifies for a refund. Be clear about the result you want when you use the relevant account or support route.

For example, suppose you bought a new Malwarebytes for Home subscription directly from Malwarebytes two weeks ago. Turn off auto-renewal in MyAccount or contact Malwarebytes support. Keep the receipt. If you want a refund, request cancellation and a refund within 60 days of purchase, subject to the money-back-guarantee conditions. Review the direct-purchase conditions

If a receipt or bank statement shows that an app store, retailer, or another vendor processed the transaction, use that seller’s renewal-management instructions. Contact the seller for its refund policy. The Malwarebytes EULA does not set one cancellation workflow for every third-party seller. See the official third-party guidance

Use this framework to decide what to do next:

Avoid using a general plan description or an old sale price to identify a charge. Your receipt and account details are better tools for matching a transaction to your subscription.

Malwarebytes’ pricing page displays plan information and may show time-limited promotions. Check a promotion’s stated end date before relying on it. Review the pricing page As checked on October 13, 2026, the displayed promotion stated that it ran through October 11, 2026. That stated date had passed, so do not treat it as an active offer without further confirmation. Check the pricing page details

Troubleshooting

You cannot access the purchase email. Search your bank or card statements for the transaction date, merchant name, and amount. If available, collect the billing name, product name, and partial order details before contacting the relevant seller. Do not send full payment-card details unless the seller’s official process specifically requests them.

You do not know whether the charge was new or a renewal. Compare the transaction date with the original order date and earlier billing records. A recent charge may still be a renewal. Malwarebytes’ stated 60-day money-back guarantee does not apply to renewals. Review the refund limitation

You are unsure whether Malwarebytes billed you directly. Look at the merchant listed on the receipt or statement. If the record names a retailer, Apple App Store, Google Play, or another provider, contact that vendor for information about its refund policy. For renewal management, follow that vendor’s documented process. See the EULA guidance for third-party purchases

You want to stop renewal and keep a record. For a Malwarebytes for Home subscription bought directly from Malwarebytes, use MyAccount to turn off auto-renewal or contact Malwarebytes support. Save the resulting account status or support confirmation. Read the official renewal instruction

You cannot find the right account. Try the email address shown on the original receipt. If you have more than one email address, compare each account’s subscription details with the billing record. Keep the receipt available if you need to contact the seller.

You are comparing plans before deciding. Review the subscription details in your account and receipt first. The pricing page can help you compare plan information, but promotions can be time-limited. Check the stated deadline before using a displayed discount to evaluate a purchase decision. View plan information and promotion dates
