What are Windows Defender definitions?
Rating:
Definitions are files that are used to identify potential software threats. These definition files are used by Windows Defender to determine whether the software it detects is spyware or other unwanted software. Defender then alerts the user for potential risks. The latest definition files are automatically installed by Windows Update service. Users can configure Windows Defender to check online for updated definitions before scanning.
