Download format for protection & security

Is there a chance you'll put all of the pieces of the downloads into a rar or zip format, either consolidated or separate files? I have a household that includes both Windows and Apple PC's so I would need and use both versions.
Some of us use (appropriately so) security software that previews, warns and sometimes blocks the download of "exe" files and we don't like to disable it on a continual one-off basis.
Placing the downloads in a rar or zipped package would bypass these security protocols which don't know or care about these formats under a base configuration, making it easier to download. It also reduces the mental risk we're willing to take that your software won't bone our systems immediately after its downloaded.
Please tell me you will...
