Avast does not see me as being online

something has changed in how avast sees me, and now when I go online avast doesn’t see that and turn itself on or upgrade itself …

Welcome to the forum! Can you be more specific than this? Any/what warning signs/dialog box does it shows you?

  1. What is your Windows Operating System? Does it have the latest service pack?
  2. What was your previous antivirus software? Did you use your previous antivirus software removal tool in safe mode after the uninstallation?
  3. What firewall does your computer have?
