Secure. (Well, private. You still have to have complete trust in the source host if you're going to run that .exe!) The enclosing page has nothing to do with the protocol. Only the link itself, and your link says "https:", so https (HTTP over an SSL "secure socket layer" connection) will be used for the data transfer. Conversely, this also means that if you're at an "https:" page and there's a link in there, the link need not be https. So pay close attention to it.
