Hello.

I was wondering how to make sure that my coins are gone? I downloaded the new wallet and restored via seed, but no coins. Can I look at transactions somewhere? It's empty.

Look in your network preferences and try to connect to a different server.

Ensure you have the right seed and that it's written down correctly. Though as the box isn't greyed out then I assume it's probably right.

Also, check Tools>master public key and paste your publickey into blockchain.info.
Or use blockchain.info/xpub/YOURPUBLICKEYHERE.

Nothing to be seen on blockchain info, it says there were no transactions on the network yet.
Did I restore wrongly?

Look at my PM also. Can you send me your master public key just to check although after reading that it looks like you just copied down the wrong seed.
If you go to file>wallets and see the drop down do any of those wallets have anything in them.
Also, if you're altcoin client (from the PM) had a virus, you'd see a transaction in and out. You could try that seed in electrum and see if anything's in that (though it's unlikely).
