Have you search for virus or malware?

Have you tried step 1, 2 and 3 in Windows repair?

Yes I searched with Malwarebytes Anti-Malware, Charter Security Suite, Windows Fixit, and the list goes on.. and yeah I did the step 1,2,3 in windows repair thats how I got the windows fire wall up and running, but it didn't affect the Windows defender for some reason

You don't have to install it. Just run it, click on services tab and see if windows defender is listed there, this should at least let you know if the service is still present. Don't uncheck anything in this program unless you know what your doing, in fact before you run it, create a restore point! LOL! This little utility will show you almost everything running. It should look like my attachment. You can also see what drivers are running or not and a whole host of other process's.

This will just show me if its running or not? it doesn't show up in services on my computer lol

Tomas_Sweden:
You can run "Farbar Service Scanner" to see if these services are ok:
Internet Services
Windows Firewall
System Restore
Security Center
Windows Update
