If I will mute someone does it mean that the user will no longer see my profile and posts?
I have recieved few downvotes from users with low SP. I don't know why they do that but I know myself that I didn't violated any steemit policy. I'm not sure if putting those users in mute can keep them away from downvoting for no reason
Most likely you have received a flag from the Steemit Defense League. Refer here for more information: https://steemit.com/flag/@guiltyparties/the-flag-ring
Now unto your question, if you mute someone that user can still see your profile and posts however you as the one who initiated the mute can no longer see his/her post or comments.
Because Steem Platforms are decentralized, there is no way to restrict them from ever interacting with you. What most Steem Platforms do is to hide the mutee's post/comment in the UI-level.
please excuse me for answering twice as i just received some intel here regarding the matter, thanks to the man @timcliff

No. If you mute someone you will not see their posts in your feed.
It is the other way around you won't see their profile and post which if you don't follow them you shouldn't anyway unless they use a tag that you curate then you might run into someone you don't follow but have not muted.
Yes if you mute someone you cannot see the post of any other person but the person you have muted can see your post in his feed.
