I have the same problem as well. Ihave tied running a Repair on Defender &
installing the update from Microsoft Update. Still getting the shield,
wanting to install the update & Windows Defender reports Signatures as
1.13.1282.6

Take a look at the following post :-
"Windows Update Keeps saying I have the same windows defender update"
Should solve your problem !

1) Try the steps in this KB article, followed by one attempt each at help,
about, check for updates, and Windows Update:

http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=915105

2) If that fails or gives an error message, get the Windows Installer
Cleanup tool:

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;290301

Install it, and use it to remove the installer bits for just the signature
update portion of Windows Defender. Then try the updating again, as in step
1.

I had this problem and used this fix from another post, worked for me.
Go to
C/Programs/Windows Defender/
Right click on
AS_Sigs.MSI
Click uninstall
Close the folders and then open Defender and check for updates from the help/about.
Good luck
