Massive vulnerability in Windows Defender leaves most Windows PCs vulnerable
Curt:
Why is no action required to install this update?
In response to a constantly changing threat landscape, Microsoft frequently updates malware definitions and the Microsoft Malware Protection Engine. In order to be effective in helping protect against new and prevalent threats, antimalware software must be kept up to date with these updates in a timely manner.
For enterprise deployments as well as end users, the default configuration in Microsoft antimalware software helps ensure that malware definitions and the Microsoft Malware Protection Engine are kept up to date automatically.

Doesn't seem to have worked that way in this computer. Win Defender was Off and is updated beyond that version(1.1.113804).

I think off and disabled are two different things.
