redirect of index page

Checking our stats I found that about 1% of the visitors are going to
"ourwebsite.com/index.htm" while the other 99% are going to
"ourwebsite.com".

Does Google and other search engines differentiate between the two?
Should we do a redirect for this? My concern is somehow penalizing
ourselves with this.

Thanks,

Jim
