Avast blocks access to "management.azure.com" and reports it as URL:Blacklist

Avast Free Antivirus / Premium Security

Avast is currently reporting the URL:
https://management.azure.com/batch?api-version=2020-06-01
as Threat Name: URL:Blacklist
Is this a false positive?
Currently i am unable to access parts of Azure that I need to get to.

Fyi - I have submitted it as a false positive to
https://www.avast.com/false-positive-file-form.php

It’s a legit URL, so it should be removed from the black list. In the meantime, you could add an exception in order to use Azure Portal (https://support.avast.com/en-ww/article/Antivirus-scan-exclusions). I’ve done this and it’s loading OK now.

Hi,
I have added the exception for management.azure.com, however I am still being alerted to it as a threat even though the page is loading now. The alerts are happening many times too, which is really frustrating.

EDIT: The false alerts have now stopped, thanks.
