Yeah the combination of multipart and solid archives (for higher compression ratio) was quite nice once upon a time. Also solid self extraction IIRC?

Yeah, with a risk of trojans. The usual advice then (as now) was to open that self-extractor up in the decompressor (WinRar/7zip) and manually extract it that way instead of letting it run itself.
