It seem like Windows Defender detected one of BitDefender signature file as a threat. This detection is false positive, no need to worry about it.

You sure?
I see it is a Bitdefender definitions and I know that WD have very little FP so I'm a little surprised.

It doesn't like BitDefender's update file, that's not good.

WD rarely has a false +ve, are the checksum of the file same as BDs?
EDIT:
Checked the link. MS considered it as FP.
