Unable to get in contact with Avast

Hallo,
I have the following Problem:
I do not use Avast any more. Now I noticed that the fee for an additional year was deducted from my Credit Card. When I checked the email I received, it says :

“Bedingungen zur automatischen Verlängerung
Indem Sie auf den unteren Button klicken und den Kauf abschließen, ermächtigen Sie Digital River, Ihre erworbene Lizenz automatisch zu verlängern, wobei die Lizenzdauer der Ihrer bestehenden Lizenz entspricht und Sie den aktuellen Verlängerungspreis (zzgl. Steuern) bekomme. Die Zahlung wird über die bei der ursprünglichen Bestellung angegebenen Zahlungsinformationen so lange durchgeführt, bis Sie die automatische Verlängerung beenden”

I never clicked this button, but the Extension of the contract has been mady anyway.

Now I was searching for an email address to communicate with Avast, but there is non. When I tried to log in (I forgot my Password already), it says that the email address is unknown.

This is very upsetting for me since I do not know how I can a) get my Money back and b) cancel the licence so that I don’t have the same problem next year again.

Is there anyone who can help me resolve this?

With Kind regards and thanks in advance
Elisabeth Ringhofer

Can you submit a Support Ticket and request refund and auto renewal disabled.

Maybe this will help.

You can also look at/change the auto-renewal yourself here https://www.avast.com/find-order

Edit: I see the message in German mentions “Digital River”

Thank you for your reply.

I followed your links,

  1. in the mail I received there is the order number but no Password, so entered with email address and last 5 digets of Creditcard.
  2. the page I opened is a listing with my orders (the last one I did NOT authorize) and no possibility to Change anything, just a list like:

I sent, however, a ticket request and hope that I will get a proper reply.

With Kind regards
