scrolls across the screen endleesly .history updates says updates have never
been downloaded or installed.i have tried disabling bullguard but this makes
no difference.

Was Bullguard installed the first time the system attempted to update
Windows Defender's definitions ?
Have other updates downloaded and installed properly ?

I *strongly* hope that the system has a good warranty as you should be
bringing it back to where it was purchased.
Have them fix whatever it is that they broke since the system has never
downloaded/installed updates nor done anything that *you* would like it
to do.
Have them uninstall Bullguard first and then check the integrity of the
WMI repository. The repository 'sounds' as if it's been damaged by
Bullguard or, <----- "something else" .
IF they feign ignorance, tell them to type the following at an Elevated
Command Prompt: winmgmt /?
That will tell them how to check the integrity of the WMI besides other
options available, such as rebuilding it now that Bullguard nuked it.
