Should something be done about links that are direct to executable content?

This answer to a question 132126 on serverfault mentions a specific product and provides a link to download an installer.

When I see a link directly to an exe should I edit out the link directly to the installer and link to the download-page or product-page? Or Should I mind my own business and assume everyone will be as parnaoid as I am and double check that the link is the official site and location instead of malware?
