I have used winmerge for a few years now and malwarebytes never said it was an issue. Now today it blocks it and says it is Ransomware. When all I use it to just compare 2 folders that have other folders inside so they are the same. Why does malwarebytes say it is ransomware?

I dont really want invoke winmerge silently, so instead of opening a command window, i tried shellexecute. Problem is how do i send the double quotes to the shell execute? Double quotes are interpreted by Autoit as its own command character.
