Your steam account isn't hacked. At most it's some sort of IM worm within windows hijacking the chat forms of the Steam program.

Deleting it off of your computer should suffice. Of course, changing your PW is never bad practice.

i only got it from you, so what happens, can i click the link?

It will download a script on your PC.

You can click the link. As Jerakl said:

 

It will download a script on your PC.

But it won't execute it; it's not a very interesting piece of malware. Doesn't use any exploits to actually get on your PC.

Just a bit of social engineering.

 

Just to be clear; you can download the file but don't execute it.

Yes, you still need to run it. It bases itself of the fact that people will be too ignorant to know what it is.

As long as you didn't actually open the file, you're good.
