AVG Guides
If you’ve subscribed to an AVG product and now wish to remove your credit card to avoid auto-renewals or charges, you’re not alone. AVG automatically renews subscriptions unless turned off, and many users seek to remove or change payment details to regain control over their billing. This blog post offers a step-by-step guide on how to remove your credit card from your AVG account—safely and effectively.
