Might have been keylogged?

So my friend posted a link on our guild Skype chat and I used it without much thinking. However, after a couple hours my friend told me that she knew someone who recently got keylogged from using that site. (Its an owl site) And for some reason I wasn't thinking that day and downloaded a spreadsheet off the site. Now I'm all frantic and unsure of what to do. I ran a virus scan and nothing popped up and I deleted the spreadsheets. So.... what am I supposed to do now? Any way to tell when I'm safe? Thanks in advance.

Why would you download the Excel Spreadsheet anyway lol?
It may be easier to have a copy, but it takes forever to download, and it updates daily.

Yeah mine was the BlogSpot one. And it wasn't .exe o - o SO... hopefully it means it ok? I changed all my passwords on a diff comp and IPaddress. Imma just start copy pasting everything from now on

i'm no good with computers but your last resort could be to restore your computer back to an earlier time (before you clicked the link?) or when you bought it

edit: wait... nvm

Download Key Scrambler and you won't have any key-logging problems in the future.

It was an excel spreadsheet. I opened it and it basically showed me what the site showed me.
