Malwarebytes keeps blocking and quarantining this program :( . Please you need to message them on the forums and have them inspect and then whitelist the app, to fix that. What could be causing this? It gets flagged as machinelearning/anomalous.95% . I just bought it, and hoping to use this tool, once this issue is solved. The pixel character .exe is in quarantine now.

Does the program run at all or is it only when you try and export?

No it does not run at all. Soon as you try to launch it Malwarebytes anti-virus quarantines the executable. This happens both through the itch launcher and out of it.

From what I can tell you need to

Open Malwarebytes for Windows.
Click the Detection History card.
Click the Allow List tab.
To add an item to the Allow List, click Add.
Select the type of exclusion you want to add.
You will probably need to do this for PixelCharacterMaker.exe, H1.exe and H2.exe(H1 and H2 are external files that deal with converting the exported file to a .png) which are all in the PixelCharacterMaker folder

But why not reach out to Malwarebytes to get white listed? It only takes a submission on the forums in like less than 10 min time. It would be beneficial to this project in the long run. And to be honest and no offense, this is a relatively small project, and it concerns me when my anti-virus acts like that when taking a chance on lesser known software. I would feel a little better without having to give it exclusions. And I think others would feel the same. I'm not trying to be annoying, just giving my thoughts and hoping for a better fix. I love what I see here so far, I just want the best for everyone involved. 

I can do that but it will have to be tomorrow as I am at work and I have no idea how long it will take to get whitelisted.

That would be great. I really appreciate it, thank you :)

apparently it has been whitelisted so you will have to try it and let me know

It works now :) . No quarantine or virus warning anymore. Thanks so much!
