Meant as a friendly advice: It's never a good idea to tag your question to an older thread like this one here. As you can see the thread is overly long, has by now accumulated 65 replies on 7 pages. Lots of those replies are off topic and/or concern other problems etc.
In case you can't solve your issue by reading and trying the below advices, please do start your own thread (Ask a Question ) and include as many details as possible (see Suggestions for asking a question on help forums and How to ask an effective question ).
Do you have another Anti-Virus program installed?
In case you already uninstalled a previous (perhaps pre-)installed Anti-Virus program:
Did you also use the specific removal tool, see this List of anti-malware product removal tools ?
If not, then please do so now and reboot.

In case, Windows Defender still isn't automatically enabled after doing the above:
I'd suggest to run the ESET AV Removal Tool and see if it can detect another AV or leftover traces...

Do you use Spybot?
If so, see
