How can I get Windows Defender updated?

On checking my safety, I get message that my Windoew Defender is DISABLED, expired.  When I TRY TO update, I get the same message.  Anyone have the answer for me? I'd appreciate your comments.  Thank you.

Hello

read this information on the Defender:

·                         If you use microsoft security essentials avg avira mcafee norton etc they disable the vista version of windows defender by default

the basics of Microsoft security has its own version of windows defender

and other anti-virus programs use their own particular type of application to scan for spyware and malware

It of nothing to worry and is the default action, which is designed for them to do

If the above does not apply to your machine to read the information on the below link on how to disable the windows defender service in vista or make an autostart to enable

These programs include those in your startup folder, Run, RunOnce, and other registry keys. You can configure Autoruns to show other locations, including Explorer shell, toolbar extensions, helper objects to the browser, Winlogon notifications, auto and many start-up services more
