I have to update them apparently, but i don't know what they are. Can't get anything out of their website either.????????????????????????
 
Simply and somewhat accurately They are the files that tell the AV software what file is a virus and what types of activities are virus related. As new virus are released into the world, the AV manufactures have to keep updating their definitions to counter.

I'm not sure exactly what you are looking for. But maybe these links can help.
