Avira constantly detecting 'Threat" from Outlook

Hello,  hope you can help.

 

I just switched over from the Apple Mail app on my Mac (Big Sur) to Outlook, and now Avira keeps popping up an alert that it has quarantined a 'Threat' all the time.

 

Looking at the quarantine log (attached), it says that the Threat Name is "JS/Pegel.2289" but I can't find any mention of that on the internet anywhere.

Is this a legitimate malware/virus threat or is Avira mistaking something in Outlook for one?

And is there a way to tell Avira to stop 'detecting' this from Outlook?

 

Thanks, Matt
