Windows Update service is responsible for frequently updating MSE. But once it is disabled via Group Policy Editor, MSE won’t update anymore. Microsoft’s idea for merging the MSE update with Windows Update is perhaps the biggest downside of MSE and the only workaround until today was to manually grab the latest virus definitions.

Updating the virus definitions during startup is the best way to keep the system secure.
It will automatically update the definitions and notify you when they are complete. By default it is checked to run on startup, you can always uncheck this option later.
