I don't know too much about viruses, though this thread might do better in the security section.
Umm... Check to see if the service is set to run automatically. Press Win+R, type services.msc and press enter. Scroll down to Windows Defender and double click it. Select Automatic from the Startup type. If needed, press the Start button.

Hello scfross
How did you remove the rogue anti virus?
What "legit" Anti Virus security program are you now running? Is it updated?
Are Windows & Defender fully updated?
I suggest you scan with the free version of Superantispyware & Malwarebytes & see if they flush anything further out.
Post back & let us know how you go.
