AVG scans every page when you access it anyway. Since it's downloading the page to scan it, you're "visiting" the page in both instances -- so you'd be, potentially*, more of a risk for infection their way.

* if they download the file, parse the page (i.e. download all the integrated stuff and scan them too, parse the javascript, etc), it'd be possible that a virus the scanner isn't set to detect could be downloaded and run. But if they just scan the things (no parsing other than searching for things), risk would be minimal overall I'd think.
