A better antimalware utility than Malwarebytes? Name it.
This is only one of a very long series of problems I've had with EdSharp. It
was you who directed me to this list because you felt I was bugging you too
much in regards to issues with EdSharp. I'm sure if you look in your
previously sent email messages you will find lots of messages where I have
specified in great details the number of crashes and errors generated by
EdSharp. FileDir has many of these same problems too.
Rather than taking this approach why not do as another poster stated and
establish some communication with Malwarebytes and hopefully this will no
longer be a problem for EdSharp.

I am confident that none of those files are malware. They are 32-bit
executables that I compiled with a reputable compiler, PowerBASIC,
published by a commercial software developer that has been in business
for a long time,
http://powerbasic.com
IniForm.exe is a utility that JAWS scripts called to create dialogs via
configuration files in ini format, since the JAWS scripting language
does not include support for user-created dialogs. SayLine.exe and
SayFile.exe are utilities that speak text via any screen reader, part of
the SayTools package that is available at
http://EmpowermentZone.com/saysetup.exe
with documentation at
http://EmpowermentZone.com/SayTools.htm
I suggest that you replace your anti malware program with a better one.
It has unnecessarily disparaged a good application (EdSharp). I know
you did not intend that to happen. In fact, it is understandable that
you would be concerned about such warnings from a program that was
claiming to protect you.
