Running MS Vista OS

I have a virus that sent spam to all my hotmail contacts. The spam shows one of several link that all contain the word "friends". The virus runs whenever I access my hotmail account.

I have Malwarebytes PRO installed with daily scans settings. A quick scan found nothing. My Windows task Manager list Malwarebytes PRO running. However, The Windows Security Center indicates That antivirus software in not found and Windows defender is turned off and it can't be turned on.

Any suggestions before I try to reinstall Malwarebytes from a flashdrive?

P.S.

I've attached a jpg file showing all processes in my Task Manager
