Anti-virus programs can show false positives with games.

We recommend adding the game to any allow lists within the anti-virus programs with regards to scans.

It is also recommended to exclude the entire Ranch Sim installation folder rather than just individual files.

Yeah but how can we know for sure? just because you say it is "Safe"? what proff can you show that it is not a threat? Sorry but i have never had a game do this before so it is worrying. Do you have any proof showing it is not a threat?

Just use common sense. How long would a virus infected game last in steam store?
Avast is an useless piece of trash anyways, you much better off with the simple windows defender.

You can submit files to avast to check via their false postive program if you are unsure
