Don. You may have something here. It makes total sense that this would be 
considered fishy behavior by MB. The thing is that I was not using EdSharp 
at the time the warning popped up. Than again MB might have been running a 
scan and bumped into it. Thanks for the creative input.

Or it could be that MalWare Bytes thinks directly accessing the web the
way those three programs is suspicious.  Does Malware Bytes have
behavior profiling?  It is not a main stream product that their
developers would have run into before.  That is why it should be
reported to their developers so they can determine if it is a false
positive.
