Okay so it took my like an hour but I finally figured it out. I have Norton Security and every time I tried to open the game it would delete the file, saying it was dangerous. In order to open it and run the application, make sure that whatever virus protection you have restores the file to your computer, or just download it again. For Norton (not sure about any other anti-virus program) before you try to open it, right click and choose the the option under your virus protection to see the file details. Then for Norton, all I had to do was click something that said I trust the producer of the game. And then I was finally able to play woooo!

Before you try to open the application right click on the file then it will have an option related to Norton security. Click on that and Norton should open up the file details on the application. In the bottom right corner there should be a button that says something along the lines of "trust this user". Click on that and then it will say "user is trusted" once you have Norton trust the user you should be able to run the application
