In 2026, many users are surprised by these charges because they often process <strong data-path-to-node="1" data-index-in-node="243">15 to 30 days before</strong> the actual expiration date of the software.</p>
<p data-path-to-node="2">To get immediate answers about a specific charge or to speak with a live representative who can help you identify the transaction, call <strong data-path-to-node="2" data-index-in-node="136">+1-855&ndash;508&ndash;8955</strong>. This is the fastest way to <strong data-path-to-node="2" data-index-in-node="180">talk to a human</strong> for a direct resolution.</p>

<p data-path-to-node="16"><strong data-path-to-node="16" data-index-in-node="0">Why was I charged even though I uninstalled the program?</strong> Uninstalling the app does not cancel the 2026 subscription. The billing is tied to your account, not the presence of the software on your computer.</p>
<p data-path-to-node="17"><strong data-path-to-node="17" data-index-in-node="0">How long does it take to get my money back?</strong> Once an agent at <strong data-path-to-node="17" data-index-in-node="61">+1-855&ndash;508&ndash;8955</strong> processes your 2026 refund, the funds typically appear back on your original payment method within <strong data-path-to-node="17" data-index-in-node="176">5 to 7 business days</strong>.</p>
<p data-path-to-node="18"><strong data-path-to-node="18" data-index-in-node="0">Is this charge a scam?</strong> While the descriptor can look strange, it is official. However, if you have never used Malwarebytes, your card may have been compromised. Call the support line to have the fraudulent 2026 account blocked immediately.</p>
