Thanks Vlk, Have now just noticed I only have 6 of the possible 7 providers! Internet Mail, Standard Shield and Web Shield plus Instant Messaging, P2P and Outlook/Exchange which I don’t use anyway but there was a forth I had running that no longer appears in the Settings GUI.
After 3 reboots my Internet Shield has now returned! I am considering removing Avast and doing a clean install as I now keep getting red popups stating that Avast has been unable to update but when I do a manual check both the IAVS and program are up to date.

Hi Vlk, I have done three repairs since these problems began and at the moment all seems to be ok with automatic updates working and apart from 1 of the 4 providers a bit slow to work at start up the only problem at the moment is the following pop up I keep getting but I think this is IE related and nothing to do with Avast.
