How to cancel Total Adblock in malaysia and stop the charges

What Total Adblock is and why you might want to cancel

Total Adblock is a subscription service that blocks advertisements, pop-ups, and tracking software across your devices and browsers. You pay a recurring fee each month, quarter, six months, or year to keep the service active. Many Malaysian users sign up expecting a one-time purchase, then feel blindsided when the renewal charge appears on their card statement.

Unlike buying software once, you are paying for ongoing access to an ad-blocking service. When you cancel, you stop future billing at the end of your current term, but you retain access until that date ends. This distinction matters because cancellation and refunds are two separate processes, and Stopee has helped thousands of consumers understand this exact confusion.

How Total Adblock billing works in malaysia

Total Adblock charges your card on a cycle you selected at signup: monthly, quarterly, biannual, or annual. The company does not clearly advertise Malaysia-specific pricing in Malaysian ringgit (RM) on its main website, which means many users end up subscribing without seeing a transparent breakdown of what they are paying in local currency.

When you sign up through the Total Adblock website, you agree to auto-renewal. This means unless you manually cancel, the service will automatically charge you again when your current term ends. The company does not send you a reminder before the renewal charge goes through, so you need to track your billing date yourself.

Who should cancel Total Adblock

You might want to cancel if you are not seeing a noticeable reduction in ads, if you found a free alternative that works better, if the annual cost no longer fits your budget, or if you prefer paying for other security tools instead. Some users cancel because they realised the service works better on desktop than on mobile, so they do not need the full subscription.

Whatever your reason, Stopee makes it simple to understand your cancellation options and your legal protections before you take action.

Your consumer protection rights in malaysia

Malaysia's Consumer Protection Act 1999 gives you specific rights when you cancel a subscription service, even though Total Adblock is a digital service.

What the consumer protection act 1999 covers

Under this law, traders must give you clear information about the subscription terms, including the cost, billing cycle, and how to cancel. If Total Adblock fails to provide this information in a way you can understand, the company is in breach of the law. You also have the right to cancel without penalty once you have completed the initial billing period.

If the company misrepresents the service-for example, claiming it blocks all ads when it does not-you may have grounds to request a refund. Stopee recommends documenting everything: save screenshots of your subscription page, billing emails, and any support messages you exchange with Total Adblock.

Your right to cancel and claim a refund

You can cancel Total Adblock at any time. However, refunds are not automatic. The Consumer Protection Act 1999 does not mandate refunds for subscription cancellations unless you can prove the service was misrepresented or did not work as advertised. If you cancel mid-term and request a refund, Total Adblock will likely refuse unless you have a valid complaint.

The key is timing. If you cancel within 14 days of your initial purchase, you have a stronger case for a refund because the law favours consumers during a "cooling-off" period for distance sales. After 14 days, your refund chances depend on whether the service genuinely failed to work.

Step-by-step guide to cancel Total Adblock

The cancellation method depends on where you originally purchased the subscription.

How to cancel if you bought through the Total Adblock website

This is the most direct route and takes about 3 minutes. Follow these steps carefully to ensure auto-renewal stops.

1. Go to the Total Adblock website and log in to your account using your email and password.
   • If you cannot remember your password, click "Forgot Password" and reset it using the link sent to your email.
2. Look for the "My Subscriptions" or "My Services" section in your account dashboard.
   • This menu item is usually on the left side or under an account settings icon.
3. Click the subscription you want to cancel. You should see "Total Adblock" listed with your next billing date clearly shown.
   • Take a screenshot of this page before proceeding, in case you need proof of the original price or term.
4. Click the "Cancel Subscription" or "Disable Auto-Renewal" button next to your active subscription.
   • The button text may vary slightly depending on when the account was created.
5. Complete two-factor authentication if prompted. You may receive a code via email or SMS to your registered mobile number.
   • Enter this code into the field that appears on your screen.
6. Confirm the cancellation when the final confirmation screen appears. The page should display a message like "Your subscription has been cancelled" or "Auto-renewal disabled."
   • Pro tip: Take a final screenshot showing the cancellation confirmation and the date when your access ends.

After you complete these steps, you should receive a cancellation confirmation email within minutes. Check your inbox and spam folder. This email is your proof that cancellation was processed. Store it safely.

How to cancel if you bought through google play (Android)

If you subscribed on an Android device via Google Play, you must cancel through Google Play itself, not through the Total Adblock website. Cancelling only on the website will not stop Google Play from charging your card.

1. Open the Google Play app on your Android device (or visit play.google.com on a computer).
   • Log in with the Google account linked to your subscription.
2. Tap the profile icon in the top right corner, then select "Manage my Google Account."
   • If using a browser, look for "Account" in the top right menu instead.
3. Tap the "Payments and subscriptions" tab, then select "Subscriptions."
   • You should see all active subscriptions tied to your Google account.
4. Find and tap "Total Adblock" in your subscriptions list.
   • If it is not visible, scroll down-you may have multiple subscriptions listed.
5. Tap "Cancel subscription" and follow the prompts to confirm.
   • Google Play may ask why you are cancelling. You do not have to answer, but if you do, this information helps the company understand user concerns.
6. You will see a confirmation message. Your subscription will end on the date shown.
   • Pro tip: Screenshot this confirmation screen and also check your email for a receipt from Google Play.

Warning: Do not assume the cancellation is complete just because you closed the app. Wait for the confirmation email from Google Play (it arrives within 24 hours) before assuming the charge will stop.

How to cancel if you bought through the apple app store (iOS)

If you subscribed on an iPhone or iPad via the Apple App Store, you cancel through Apple, not through Total Adblock directly.

1. Open the Settings app on your iOS device.
   • Do not open Total Adblock itself-you must use the Settings app.
2. Tap your name at the very top of the Settings menu.
   • You should see your Apple ID profile information.
3. Tap "Subscriptions."
   • This section shows all active subscriptions purchased through the App Store.
4. Find and tap "Total Adblock" in your subscriptions list.
   • If you have multiple subscriptions, scroll to locate it.
5. Tap "Cancel Subscription" at the bottom of the screen.
   • Apple will show you the cancellation date and any remaining access period.
6. Confirm the cancellation by tapping "Confirm" when prompted.
   • Pro tip: Take a screenshot showing the cancelled status and the access end date.

Apple sends a confirmation email to your registered Apple ID email address. This email confirms the cancellation and your final access date. Keep this email in your records.

What happens after you cancel Total Adblock

Cancelling your subscription does not immediately remove the service from your devices. You retain full access until the end of your current billing term.

Your access during the notice period

If your next billing date is 15 November and you cancel on 1 November, you keep using Total Adblock until 15 November. After that date, the service stops working and no further charges appear on your card. This is normal behaviour for all subscription services.

Write down your final access date somewhere safe so you are not surprised when the service stops. If you need uninterrupted ad-blocking, research and sign up for an alternative before your access expires.

If a charge appears after cancellation

If your card is charged after you have cancelled and completed your final billing period, this usually means one of three things: the cancellation did not process correctly, you cancelled through the wrong platform (for example, only on the website when you subscribed via Google Play), or the charge is a refund attempt being reversed by the company.

Contact Total Adblock immediately using the email address [email protected] and include your original cancellation confirmation email. Provide your account email, billing date, and the date you cancelled. Stopee recommends keeping all documentation organised so you can escalate quickly if needed.

How to request a refund from Total Adblock

Refunds are separate from cancellation, and the company does not automatically refund you when you cancel.

When you have a legitimate refund claim

You have the strongest refund case if you cancelled within 14 days of your first purchase. During this cooling-off period, distance sales laws favour the consumer. You also have grounds for a refund if the service genuinely did not work as described-for example, if ads still appeared after you activated Total Adblock, or if the app crashed on launch.

If you are outside the 14-day window and the service worked as advertised, the company will likely refuse a refund. However, you can still request one. The worst outcome is they say no.

How to request a refund step-by-step

1. Gather your evidence: your cancellation confirmation email, screenshots of your subscription page, and a clear list of why the service did not meet your expectations.
   • If the service did not work, describe the problem in specific terms (for example, "ads appeared in Chrome despite Total Adblock being active").
2. Email Total Adblock at [email protected] with the subject line "Refund request for [your email address]."
   • Keep the email polite and factual. Emotional language weakens your case.
3. In your message, state your subscription dates, the amount charged, and your refund reason. Attach your cancellation confirmation.
   • Write no more than 100 words. Keep it simple and direct.
4. Wait for a response within 7 to 10 working days. Total Adblock should reply from a support email address, usually with a yes, no, or request for more information.
   • If you do not hear back after 10 days, send a follow-up email referencing your original request.
5. If the company refuses and you believe they are breaking the Consumer Protection Act 1999, escalate to the Malaysia Ministry of Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs (MDTCA).
   • Visit consumer.gov.my to file a formal complaint.

Pro tip: If the company offers a partial refund (for example, 50 percent), decide quickly whether to accept it. Holding out for full refund may result in no refund if the company becomes less cooperative.

Pricing overview and subscription plans

Understanding what you are paying helps you decide whether cancellation is the right choice.

Prices shown are in USD. When charged to a Malaysian card, the amount you pay depends on the current exchange rate and whether your bank applies a foreign transaction fee. This is why many Malaysian subscribers are surprised by the final amount. Stopee recommends checking your bank statement to see the exact MYR amount charged.

Common mistakes when cancelling Total Adblock

Cancellation is simple, but small errors can leave you still being charged. Here are the pitfalls to avoid.

Mistake one: cancelling on the website when you subscribed via an app store

If you signed up through Google Play or the Apple App Store, cancelling only on the Total Adblock website does nothing. Auto-renewal remains active on your app store account, and your card will still be charged. You must cancel on the platform where you subscribed. Check your subscription purchase history in Google Play or App Store to confirm where the original charge came from.

Mistake two: assuming the cancellation worked without checking for confirmation

Many users cancel, see a message that says something like "Changes submitted," and leave the page without waiting for a confirmation email. The page message is not proof. Only an email confirmation proves the cancellation was processed. If you do not receive a confirmation email within 2 hours, return to your account and try cancelling again.

Mistake three: forgetting to note your final access date

You do not lose access immediately after cancelling. You keep using the service until the end of your current term. If you do not write down this date, you may be shocked when ads suddenly reappear and the service stops. Calendar the date now so you have time to find an alternative before your access ends.

Mistake four: confusing cancellation with refund requests

Cancellation stops future charges. A refund returns money you have already paid. The company will not refund you automatically when you cancel-you must request a refund separately, and the request may be denied. Do not assume cancellation includes a refund.

Checklist before you cancel Total Adblock

Use this checklist to ensure you have covered everything before pressing the cancel button.

• Confirm where you originally purchased the subscription (website, Google Play, or Apple App Store).

• Take screenshots of your current subscription plan, next billing date, and account status.
• Save your last billing email and any support correspondence with Total Adblock.
• Decide whether you will request a refund and gather supporting evidence (screenshots of broken features, or cancellation within 14 days of purchase).
• Verify your registered email address is correct so you receive the cancellation confirmation.
• Research an alternative ad-blocking solution if you want uninterrupted protection after access ends.
• Cancel through the correct platform (do not cancel only on the website if you subscribed via an app store).
• Wait for the confirmation email and screenshot it.
• Mark your final access end date on a calendar.
