I received a suspicious looking email from paypal that said there was a problem with my account. The email addressed me by my first and last name, so I clicked it and it sent me to a contact page on a "paypal" website. It requested some information about me, but I didn't put anything in and immediately exited the page.
My concern is whether a keylogger could have been installed while I was on that website. I didn't download anything, all I did was go to the site. I'm running a scan right now using Nod32. But, is it possible for a keylogger to stealth install itself just by being on a website or must someone actively download something to be infected?
*I also called Paypal to verify they hadn't sent me an email, and they said they didn't, so my paranoia is not without justification.
