Solved Action Center: Spyware & anti virus not turned on

I am running Windows 8.1. I have two messages that my spyware & anti virus are not turned on. When I click on the message I get error message 0x80073afc. I have tried to open Windows Defender and also get the same message. Nothing seems to work. Need help.

Check you computer for possible malware infection.

Emsisoft Free Emergency Kit

Downloads HitmanPro

Then use Option Two: sfc /scannow

I have downloaded the Emsisoft & HitmanPro downloads but when I enter sfc /scannow in Run, a screen pops up quickly then disappears. Running the sfc /scannow is kind of scary for me. It seems to get into deep areas that I am not familiar with. Can you advise me how to Boot on 8.1. I am working through this slowly so I don't mess things up more. Thanks for your help so far.

Run Command Prompt as admin, do not use Run.

Ran command prompt as admin

I ran the command prompt as admin and corrupt files were found and the system was unable to fix some of them. I have attached the window with the information below in attachments. I hope you can open it as a word document, Again, this is my first time in EightForums and I am not very savvy at adding the screenshots that you need. Let me know if you cannot open the error message and I will type it out as it was on the screen. Thanks for your patience in working with me.

I ran HItmanPro again and Windows Defender is now up and working. Thank you for taking the time to work through this problem with me.
