Cancel Kaspersky Step by Step
Log in to your account dashboard
Go to kaspersky.com and sign in. Navigate to your account dashboard or control panel.
Find Subscription or Billing settings
Look for Subscription, Billing, or My Plan in your account settings. Kaspersky usually places this prominently in the dashboard.
Turn off Auto-Renewal or click Cancel
Click Cancel Subscription, Turn Off Auto-Renewal, or Don't Renew. Some security products frame this as "disabling auto-renewal" rather than "canceling."
Confirm and check for money-back guarantee
Confirm the cancellation. Many security services including Kaspersky offer a 30-day money-back guarantee. If you're within that window, contact support to request a full refund.
Pro Tip
Uninstalling the software does NOT cancel your subscription. You must cancel through your account.
Subscribed Through Apple or Google?
If you signed up for Kaspersky through the Apple App Store or Google Play Store, you need to cancel through those platforms instead.

What Happens After You Cancel Kaspersky?
Your protection continues until the subscription expires
Kaspersky keeps protecting your device until the end of your paid period. After that, real-time protection and updates stop.
Uninstall the software when your sub ends
Once your subscription expires, uninstall Kaspersky and switch to a free alternative if needed. Expired security software can actually cause system issues.
Your account and license key are preserved
If you decide to come back, your license key and account are usually kept on file. You can reactivate without setting up everything from scratch.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I get a refund from Kaspersky?
Most security services offer a 30-day money-back guarantee. If you're within that window, contact support or submit a refund request through your account dashboard. Refunds are typically processed within 5-10 business days.
Is my device still protected after canceling Kaspersky?
Yes, until your subscription period ends. After that, you'll stop receiving updates and real-time protection. Consider switching to a free alternative before your subscription expires.
Do I need to uninstall Kaspersky after canceling?
Not immediately — Kaspersky works until your subscription ends. After that, uninstall it to avoid conflicts with other security software. The program won't protect you after expiry anyway.
