Generic Method - Cannot implicitly convert type 'string' to T

public interface ISanitizer

Your problem is that the method Sanitize hasTas the return type, but the method actually returns astringfromRegex.Replace`.

Try changing the method to return a string instead:

public virtual string Sanitize(T filename_)

That means you need to change your method in the interface to return string as well.
