Windows 10: Anti Virus protection for Windows Subsystem for Android

Has any one had problems installing antivirus BitDefender or Windows Defender on the Windows Subsystem for Android. When trying to allow ‘web protection’ on Windows Subsystem for Android the Accessibility Service is not found and therfore I can not activate the WEb Protection service. Also, is then WSA or WSL protected by any anti virus software installed on Windows?
