My good friend on steam sent me a link which apparantly was to someones steam profile so when I went to look at it it asked me to log on, so I did. Then i noticed the URL wasn't the same but it was too late.
Anyway I know someone else must have been on my friends account, and I changed some of my passwords but would going on that site let them download a keylogger to my computer?

I doubt that it would have downloaded anything tbh. If it was for a Steam account, then it would have just saved your username and password. You should be ok if you changed your password straight away.0

Steam is a legit site, but there are plenty of phishing sites that set themselves up to look like Steam and then steal your username and password - that's what the OP fell victim to.STEAMS safe as houses, and you dont say 'how' it was different but I personally suspect it was all legitpoppy100 -
I know Steam is legit I have lots of steam games. What I meant was one of my steam friends sent me a link which led to the community section of the fake steam website. The URL said steam community in it but ended in somelike like .ph7z.com and when i put my user and password in nothing happened.0
