Its best that you update windows defender anyway should something happen. Most people don't recommend using Nortons though.

Windows Defender is an anti-spyware. Norton is an anti-virus.
For best security, you need to run both anti-virus and anti-spyware (firewall too).

Windows Defender updates using Windows Updates, so if you have our Windows set to update automatically (and you should), Windows Defender should update its definitions automatically.
