To report the program as a false positive please create a new topic in the ransomware false positive area by clicking here and provide details about the detection such as the name of the software, a copy of the file (zipped and attached if you can, or at least a link to a scan page from VirusTotal for the exact file being detected) and a link to the program's download page if possible and the Research team will review the software and correct the false positive. It sounds as though the program is most likely triggering a behavioral detection because the Ransomware Protection component in Malwarebytes monitors all processes very closely to observe their file activities, especially for any delete operations among other things due to the fact that one of the first things ransomware will do is delete the files it is encrypting to remove the unencrypted copies from the system.
