Hello, brand new here, I've glanced over the guidelines and rules, please forgive me if I missed something, I've been up all night working on this. I'm running win7 ultimate on a toshiba satellite L305-S5921. I downloaded an infected torrent I thought my anti-virus (Avira) caught and dealt with before it had a chance to do anything. (I didn't open or run the download) I then updated Avira and ran a full system scan. It didn't detect anything, just some files it said it couldn't access. My problem is now Action center is saying that Window's Security Center isn't turned on, and when I try to turn it on, I get an error msg saying it can't be started. I've tried enabling it in services.msc in normal and safe mode, and still can't get it to work. I also can't get windows defender to open. I tried to do a restore recovery from before I downloaded that torrent, but all my restore points but one from 2009 are gone, and I really don't want to go back that far unless absolutely necessary. Anyway, if anyone can suggest what I should do next, it would be greatly appreciated, I basically live on this thing; have it on most of the day, lol. Thanks ahead of time for any help I can get, I want to get this bug worked out before it gets any worse!

Start by downloading and installing, updating and running a full scan of MalwareBytes. When this completes, a log will pop up. Post its contents in a reply.
Be sure to clean any infections you find.

I've included 2 logs because I started a quick scan before I realized you'd said do a full scan. Sorry, here's both:
