Ignoring the fact that it sounds sketchy just from the URL (if it is related to Valve's Steam), the fact that it threw up a HTTPS error practically answers your question.

 

Don't.

I think they meant steamunlocked and not steamunlocked.

 

I still don't recommend downloading anything from there, even if it's a well known site.

I have a few of these games downloaded from this website and  I ended up seeing that made of installing a lot of viruses on a computer video. I was wondering if it's a virus or not

Discussion about piracy sites aren't allowed here, but yes there's a pretty big chance you get a virus from downloading stuff on sites like this.

Op, the site is not a virus but it appears to be a site designed to distribute cracked software and typically you will find sites like this will include viruses, trojans and other similar type invasive programs. I suggest you either a) run a malware/virus program or b) wipe your drive an fresh install your OS to start over clean.

 

Now per the rules of the forum we cannot help you with the cracked/illegal software you download but we can help resolve your issue with viruses. Please make sure to keep the conversation within that scope.

If you want games on Steam, get them from store.steampowered.com.

 

A good rule of thumb for online goods and services: if you're not paying with money, you're paying with your attention, your data, or your privacy.
