Try this from the above link "basic search of the knowledge base" for Windows Defender or you can use the above link and do your own search of the knowledge base (use the box just below "products" and type in your request.

The last update for Windows AntiSpyware (Beta) was on 12 August 2005. Its version number is 5745.

You can find definition update information at our security portal. Currently signature updates go up on Windows Update and Microsoft Update on Tuesdays and Thursdays. You can download updates through Automatic Updates, the update feature in Windows Defender, or via the manual update links provided at the portal.

Here's some links that may be useful:

Hope this helps,
