Cancellation Malwarebytes: Easy Method
What is Malwarebytes
Product overview
Malwarebytes is a subscription-based cybersecurity product that protects Windows, macOS, Android and iOS devices from malware, ransomware and other threats.
It offers real-time protection, on-demand scanning and additional features such as Browser Guard depending on the plan.
Who uses it
Malwarebytes is used by home (consumer) customers and businesses for endpoint protection and malware removal.
Subscriptions can be purchased directly from Malwarebytes or via app stores and third-party resellers.
How to cancel Malwarebytes
Cancel when purchased via the web
- Log into your Malwarebytes account.
- Go to Manage Subscription → Billing & payment → Edit auto-renewal → Turn auto‑renewal off and select a reason.
- Turning auto‑renewal off cancels future billing; the subscription remains active until the end of the paid period.
- Reference: Manage auto‑renewal (Malwarebytes Help).
Cancel when purchased via Apple App Store or Google Play
- If you subscribed through Apple App Store (iOS) or Google Play (Android), you must cancel through that store.
- Malwarebytes cannot cancel App Store or Play Store subscriptions for you; follow the store’s standard cancellation flow.
- See Malwarebytes guidance: Manage auto‑renewal (Malwarebytes Help).
What happens when you cancel
Access after cancellation
When you turn off auto‑renewal your subscription remains active until the end of the current paid period.
You continue to receive protection and updates until the expiry date of that paid term.
Billing and data
Cancellation stops future charges but does not automatically delete your Malwarebytes account or any stored account data.
If you need account deletion or data removal, contact Malwarebytes Support via the Help Center.
Will I get a refund?
Malwarebytes refund policy (direct purchases)
Malwarebytes offers a 60‑day money‑back guarantee for new consumer subscriptions purchased directly from their website (Windows, Mac, bundles).
Request cancellation and a refund within 60 days to be eligible for a refund on qualifying direct purchases.
Source: Malwarebytes refund policy summary.
Exceptions and third‑party purchases
- Renewals and auto‑renewed subscriptions may not be eligible for full refunds; partial refunds or declines are possible depending on timing.
- Purchases via Google Play or Apple App Store are subject to the store’s refund processes, not Malwarebytes’ direct guarantee.
- To request a refund or dispute a charge, contact Malwarebytes Support through the Help Center: Support for subscriptions and payments.

Import listings may include extra fees; verify seller terms before purchase.
Your consumer rights in South Africa
General rights under local law
South African consumer protection laws (e.g., the Consumer Protection Act) provide rights for unfair, misleading or unconscionable terms.
Auto‑renewal that was not clearly disclosed or consented to may be contested under these rules.
Practical remedies
- If a refund or cancellation is refused despite clear eligibility (e.g., within a stated guarantee), you can escalate complaints to relevant consumer protection bodies.
- For purchases via app stores, follow the store’s dispute and refund process; local rights may still apply but enforcement can be via the platform.
- As a last resort, you can consider a chargeback through your payment provider if the provider’s rules are met.
Customer experiences

Documentation checklist
What to gather before contacting support
- Order number, transaction ID or invoice for the Malwarebytes purchase.
- Email address used on the Malwarebytes account and the account login name.
- Purchase date and payment method (card, PayPal, store purchase).
Extra items that help
- Screenshots of the charge on your bank or card statement.
- Proof of attempted cancellation (screenshots of account settings or store subscription page).
- Any support ticket numbers or previous communications with Malwarebytes.
Common mistakes
Not checking where you purchased
A common error is trying to cancel a Play Store or App Store subscription via Malwarebytes’ website; those must be cancelled via the store.
Always verify whether the purchase was direct or via a third party before contacting Malwarebytes Support.
Missing proof or late requests
Waiting too long to request a refund after renewal often leads to declined refunds or partial refunds.
Not supplying order IDs, account email or payment proof delays processing - collect the checklist items before contacting support.
