How to cancel TotalAV in singapore: your complete refund and rights guide
Why you might want to cancel TotalAV
TotalAV is a subscription-based antivirus and security software designed to protect your devices from malware, optimise your system performance, and provide privacy features including a VPN and ad blocker. You access it through your online account portal or mobile apps on iOS and Android.
If you've landed on this page, you've decided TotalAV no longer fits your needs. Perhaps you've found a better alternative, discovered you're not using all the features, or want to reduce your monthly expenses. Whatever your reason, you have clear consumer rights that protect your decision to cancel. Tocancel is here to guide you through the cancellation process quickly and help you understand your eligibility for a refund.
What TotalAV offers
TotalAV typically includes real-time malware protection, system cleanup and optimisation scans, VPN access, ad blocking, and device management tools. Your specific features depend on which plan you purchased. Check your account dashboard to see exactly what your current subscription includes before you cancel.
Understanding what happens when you cancel
When you cancel TotalAV, you stop all future billing. However, you retain access to TotalAV services until your current paid period ends. This timing is crucial because it allows you to plan your next security solution without leaving your devices unprotected. Understanding this distinction helps you decide when to cancel without creating gaps in your protection.
Your consumer rights in singapore
Singapore's Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act safeguards your right to transparent pricing, honest advertising, and fair contract terms when you purchase online services like TotalAV.
What the law protects you
When you purchase TotalAV online, you enter into a distance contract, which Singapore law recognises as a special category requiring additional consumer protections. The Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act gives you the right to receive clear information about the service, its cost, and your cancellation rights before you buy.
Distance-purchased digital services in Singapore typically include a cooling-off period of around 14 days from the date of purchase. TotalAV's own refund policy offers 14 days for monthly plans and 30 days for annual subscriptions, which meets or exceeds this legal standard. Your legal position is straightforward: if you cancel within these windows, you have a strong claim for a full refund.
Your escalation path if TotalAV refuses your cancellation
If TotalAV refuses your legitimate cancellation request or withholds a refund you're entitled to, you have formal recourse. Contact the Consumers Association of Singapore (CASE) or escalate to the Info-communications Media Development Authority (IMDA) if the company violates consumer protection rules. Tocancel strongly recommends documenting all communication with TotalAV, including cancellation confirmations and refund requests, before escalating to these authorities. Save screenshots, emails, and any reference numbers TotalAV provides.
How to cancel TotalAV: all methods
TotalAV offers multiple cancellation methods to suit your preference. The fastest and most transparent option is the web portal, though you can also cancel through your app store if you subscribed there.
Cancel via the TotalAV website
Cancelling through the web portal is the fastest way to disable auto-renewal and maintain a clear record of your cancellation.
- Open your web browser and visit the TotalAV website.
- Log in to your account using your email address and password.
- If you've forgotten your password, click "Forgot Password" and follow the reset link sent to your email.
- Navigate to your account dashboard and select "My Subscriptions" or "My Services".
- This section displays all active subscriptions linked to your account.
- Find your active TotalAV subscription and click "Cancel Subscription".
- TotalAV may present you with retention offers (discounts or upgrades). You're under no obligation to accept these.
- TotalAV may request identity verification using a code sent to your registered email or payment method. Enter this code.
- Check your spam folder if you don't see the code within two minutes.
- Confirm the cancellation. You'll receive an email receipt confirming your subscription is set to end at the close of your current billing cycle.
Pro tip: Screenshot your cancellation confirmation email and save it. You'll need it if you later request a refund or need to prove you cancelled on time for a chargeback dispute.
Cancel via apple app store (iOS)
If you subscribed to TotalAV through the Apple App Store, Apple manages your subscription, not TotalAV. You cancel directly in your iOS settings.
- On your iPhone or iPad, open the Settings app.
- Tap your name at the top of the screen.
- Select "Subscriptions".
- All active subscriptions you've purchased through the App Store appear here.
- Find and tap "TotalAV".
- Tap "Cancel Subscription".
- Follow any prompts to confirm. Apple will notify you once the cancellation is complete.
Important: Cancelling through the App Store ends your subscription but does not automatically trigger a refund request. If you want a refund, you must contact Apple directly through "Report a Problem" in your iTunes purchase history or request a refund through the App Store settings.
Cancel via google play store (Android)
If you subscribed through Google Play, Google processes your cancellation, not TotalAV.
- On your Android device, open the Google Play Store app.
- Tap the menu icon (three horizontal lines) in the top left corner.
- Select "Subscriptions".
- All active subscriptions appear under "Active".
- Tap "TotalAV".
- Tap "Cancel Subscription".
- Follow the prompts to confirm. Google will send a confirmation email.
Like the Apple App Store, cancelling through Google Play stops future charges but does not automatically refund past payments. Request a refund separately through your Google Play purchase history if you're within the refund period.
Cancel by email
If you experience technical issues or prefer a written record, email TotalAV directly at [email protected] with your cancellation request.
- Compose an email with the subject line "Subscription Cancellation Request".
- Include your account email address, full name, and the email used to purchase TotalAV.
- This ensures TotalAV can identify your account quickly.
- State clearly: "I request immediate cancellation of my TotalAV subscription, effective from [date]."
- If you're within your refund window, add: "I am requesting a full refund as I am within the 14-day (or 30-day) refund period."
- Send the email and save a copy for your records.
- TotalAV will typically respond within 2-5 business days confirming the cancellation and, if applicable, processing your refund.
Email best practice: Use the email address linked to your TotalAV account so TotalAV can match your request immediately. Keep the response email as proof of cancellation.
Understanding TotalAV pricing
Your refund eligibility depends partly on your plan duration and the price you paid. The table below outlines typical TotalAV pricing and refund windows in Singapore.
| Plan type | Typical cost (SGD) | Billing cycle | Refund window | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Monthly | $9.99-14.99 | 30 days | 14 days from purchase | Users testing the service |
| Annual | $49.99-79.99 | 365 days | 30 days from purchase | Users wanting long-term protection at a discount |
| Multi-year (2-3 years) | $99.99-149.99 | 730-1095 days | 30 days from purchase | Users committed to TotalAV long-term |
The longer your subscription period, the larger your potential refund if you cancel within the window. Annual plans offer better per-month value but lock you in longer; monthly plans offer flexibility at a higher per-month cost.
Refund eligibility and timeline
Your refund depends on whether you fall within TotalAV's cancellation window and whether you've used the service.
When you're eligible for a refund
You are eligible for a full refund if you cancel within 14 days of purchase (monthly plans) or 30 days of purchase (annual and multi-year plans). This applies regardless of how much you've used TotalAV. The clock starts on your purchase date, not your activation date.
After the refund window closes, you are no longer entitled to a refund, but you can still cancel to stop future charges. Tocancel recommends checking your confirmation email to confirm your exact purchase date and calculating your refund deadline from there.
How to request a refund
If you cancel within the refund window, mention this clearly in your cancellation request-either through the web portal (if it prompts you) or in your cancellation email. Use the template below:
"I purchased TotalAV on [purchase date] and am requesting cancellation and a full refund within the 14-day (or 30-day) refund period. Please process my refund to my original payment method [card or PayPal]."
TotalAV typically processes refunds within 5-10 business days after approving your request. If you paid by credit or debit card, the refund appears as a credit back to that card. If you paid via PayPal, the refund goes back to your PayPal account.
Refund timeline
Your bank or PayPal account may take an additional 3-5 business days to show the refund after TotalAV processes it. If you don't see the refund after 15 business days, contact TotalAV to confirm the refund was issued. Ask for a refund reference number for your records.
What happens after you cancel TotalAV
Cancelling TotalAV is straightforward, but several things happen automatically after you submit your request.
Immediate effects
Once you confirm your cancellation, auto-renewal is disabled immediately. You will not be charged at your next billing date. Your access to TotalAV continues until the end of your current billing period, after which your account becomes inactive.
Finding a replacement security solution
After cancelling, you have a window to find and install a replacement antivirus or security solution before your TotalAV access expires. This prevents gaps in your device protection. Research alternatives, install your chosen software, and activate it before your TotalAV subscription ends.
Removing the TotalAV app
After your subscription expires and you've installed a replacement, uninstall TotalAV from your devices. On Windows, go to Settings > Apps > Apps and Features, find TotalAV, and click "Uninstall". On Mac, drag the TotalAV app to Trash, then empty the Trash. On iOS, press and hold the TotalAV app icon and select "Remove App". On Android, go to Settings > Apps > TotalAV > Uninstall.
Common mistakes when cancelling TotalAV
Cancelling can feel stressful, especially if you're unsure of your rights. You're not alone in making these mistakes, and they're all preventable.
Mistake 1: only deleting the app instead of cancelling
Uninstalling the TotalAV app from your device does not cancel your subscription. Charges continue even if the app is no longer installed. Always cancel through the web portal, app store, or email before you delete the app.
Mistake 2: missing your refund deadline
Refund windows are strict: 14 days for monthly plans, 30 days for annual plans. If you miss this window by even one day, you forfeit the refund but can still cancel to stop future charges. Mark your cancellation deadline on your calendar immediately after purchase.
Mistake 3: not keeping proof of cancellation
Disputes happen. If TotalAV claims you never cancelled or charges you after you cancelled, you need proof. Save your cancellation confirmation email, screenshot the web portal confirmation, and note the date and method you used to cancel. Tocancel has seen customers recover refunds and reversed charges simply because they had documentation TotalAV couldn't dispute.
Mistake 4: paying for a refund through a third party
If someone claims to help you cancel TotalAV in exchange for a fee, that is a scam. TotalAV cancellation is free. Never pay anyone to cancel on your behalf.
Mistake 5: cancelling through the wrong platform
If you subscribed through the Apple App Store, cancelling through the TotalAV website does not stop Apple charging you. Ensure you cancel through the same platform where you purchased. Check your email receipt to confirm where you bought TotalAV.

Comparing TotalAV with alternatives
If you're cancelling TotalAV because you've found a better fit, this comparison table may help you confirm your decision and find a replacement.
| Feature | TotalAV | Norton | McAfee | Bitdefender |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Real-time malware protection | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| VPN included | Yes | Limited | Yes | No (extra cost) |
| Annual cost (approx. SGD) | $49.99-79.99 | $59.99-99.99 | $49.99-89.99 | $39.99-79.99 |
| Refund window | 30 days annual | 60 days | 30 days | 30 days |
