How can I prevent friends from seeing me when I am logged in?

You can't completely hide your on-line status from your friends. They will always see you on their Friends list as being on-line or not. The only way to 'hide' is to not use that account at all. Log in with a second account that they don't know exists.

Not sure how in regular Viewer ,but in Third part viewers ,just unclik the eye symbol,at contact's name

Although friends still may see are you online  you by" search " tool

Yeah it is basically impossible to seem perfectly offline.. Clicking that eye symbol in the contact list will work for the most part, it'll make it seem like you're offline on people's contact list, but yes they'll still see a green "ONLINE" tag in your profile if they look that up..

Worse yet is that some 3rd party viewers (Phoenix viewer) actually let's you see if someone is hiding their online status from you, and in my experience that does strain relationships quite much, so make sure they aren't using that viewer if you intend to hide.

It used to be the easy eye tickboxes etc. as on TPV still, but LL changed it to make it harder for some unknown reason when they did all those peculiar things to the UI.

Highlight each of their names, one by one and choose the 'Delete/Remove' option that comes up.

You can't.  Anyone who is a member of a group you belong to can see if you are online or not.  Anyone can send you and IM or give you something and find out if you are online.  As someone else already said, the only way to be online without others knowing is to be on an alt no one knows about.
