For those concerned (including me) about antivirus programs triggering, I highly recommend looking into Sandboxie Plus if you want to play the game without worrying about the safety of your computer. After you install sandboxie, simply create a new box, right click it and choose Run then Run Explorer. Inside the Window that opens, you can run anything which will be contained in the sandbox.
Note for laptop users: If you have an NVidia Card, you need to set Sandboxie to use your dedicated graphics card, as the default setting of integrated graphics will make the game pretty frame-y. I don't know how it works for AMD, sorry.
