Hi, I work on antivirus and other IT security issues. AFAIK, if your antivirus has been correctly installed and set up, it will scan any new file that is being written on the HDD. Thus, any file transfer would be silently scanned, no matter if the file came from an HTTP/FTP access or IM file transfer.
I would suggest you to scan the suspicious file using www.virustotal.comanyway, just in case of. Still, the most important is to have an antivirus up to date, with full-patched softwares. HTH.
