Antimalware feature on Web Apps (App Service)
Cloud Services and Virtual Machines have an antimalware feature to protect themselves from viruses.
However, Web Apps only protects their platform, and there is no customer-facing antimalware service now.
If we develop an application which receives files from anonymous users with an upload form, we can't detect and get rid of the viruses.
We strongly request the antimalware feature like that Cloud Services and Virtual Machines do.

There are no near term plans to provide this functionality. However we will keep it under review for periodic re-evaluation in the future.
Thank you,
Azure App Service Team

Microsoft should consider opening up the AMSI AnitMalware Services Interface now that they've upgraded the App Service machines to Windows Server 2016
