Microsoft Defender AV virus definition age must not exceed 7 days.
High Severity
<VulnDiscussion>This policy setting allows defining the number of days that must pass before virus definitions are considered out of date. If definitions are determined to be out of date, this state may trigger several additional actions, including falling back to an alternative update source or displaying a warning icon in the user interface. By default, this value is set to 14 days. If this setting is enabled, virus definitions will be considered out of date after the number of days specified have passed without an update. If this setting is disabled or not configured, virus definitions will be considered out of date after the default number of days have passed without an update.</VulnDiscussion><FalsePositives></FalsePositives><FalseNegatives></FalseNegatives><Documentable>false</Documentable><Mitigations></Mitigations><SeverityOverrideGuidance></SeverityOverrideGuidance><PotentialImpacts></PotentialImpacts><ThirdPartyTools></ThirdPartyTools><MitigationControl></MitigationControl><Responsibility></Responsibility><IAControls></IAControls>
