When using Azure App Service, the underlying service that hosts the web app has Microsoft Antimalware enabled on it. This is used to protect Azure App Service infrastructure and does not run on customer content. [doc]

There are ideas on how to achieve this already on S/O. Virus Scanning Uploaded files from Azure Web/Worker Role

  • Windows Defender is available in the D:\Program Files\Windows Defender\ folder of your web app. You could try to call it from your web app but I have not tested this and have no idea if it's supported. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/previous-versions/technet-magazine/gg131918(v=msdn.10) – Ken W - Zero Networks Dec 11 '18 at 15:52
