Azure Backup -- Anti-virus

Hi,
One of our employees is using Azure Backup on a laptop, and we receive antivirus alerts every time the backup process is run. Defining a scan exclusion for the "problematic" files and folders doesn't help, presumably because the VSS copy is being scanned. I don't think there's any way to exclude these temporary volume copies. Here is an example alert:
Trojan:W32/Generic.1de7271040!Online|Blocked|File|
\Device\HarddiskVolume93\Users\XXXXX\.vscode\extensions\ms-vscode.azure-account-0.3.0\node_modules\ms-rest\lib\serviceClient.js
Any idea how we can avoid this alert or suppress it?
Thanks!

Thanks for your reply. That would be a temporary solution, but there are a number of files causing these false alerts. Additionally, if more people implement this backup solution, this might become untenable. I thought this might be a known problem and that there might be a solution I'm simply not aware of. If need be, then we'll resort to submitting false positive reports.

Hello,
Access to a binary file sample may not even be necessary. I think F-Secure malware detection names that include the string "!Online" are special, as they can be identified from some kind of a cloud repository and fixed for false alarms without sample submission.
