Adam,

your interface is incorrect, try:

public interface ISanitizer
{
    T Sanitize(TA data);
}

public class BasicFilenameSanitizer : ISanitizer
{
    public virtual T Sanitize(TA data)
    {
        throw new NotImplementedException();
    }
}

public class Test : BasicFilenameSanitizer
{
    public override int Sanitize(string data)
    {
        return data.Length;
    }
    // a little test func...
    public void TestFunc()
    {
        int result = this.Sanitize("fred");
        Console.Write(result);
    }
}
