Changing the seed code might help to mitigate your concerns.
Great. It looks like it might be a false positive that was resloved.
I scanned it without any issues using the latest Windows Defender definitions:
Version: 1.281.675.0 Released: Nov 23, 2018 03:23 PM UTC
I have the same issue. You might notice that the min files in *.Web.Mvc\wwwroot\view-resources\Areas\App\Views_Bundles are not updated.
I went to the command line and navigated to the root folder of the *.Web.Mvc project where the gulpfile.js is located, and I ran gulp --prod to minify the production files.
Publish the project and the updated min files should be included. It is clumsy, but it works.
