You can change the updates from auto-update to manual update.  This way you can pick and choose when to attempt an update.   If there is one available when you check the defeinitions should download and install at that time.

Go to Settings------>Updates---->Click "Manual"

When you want to update the Defintions go to Maintenance----->Update---------->Update engine and virus defnitions and click
