In order for the test virus to be detected, you'll want your computer's antivirus program running. Keep in mind that the test virus isn't actually a virus, so it won't harm your computer.  On Windows, you have a program called Windows Defender that should be on by default. On Mac, you'll need to use a third-party antivirus program like Malwarebytes or AVG. Go to https://www.eicar.org/ in your computer's browser. EICAR is a European IT security firm that, among other things, helps IT departments test their networks' security measures. It's in the dark-blue banner that's near the top of the page. Doing so opens the EICAR disclaimer. You can read through this disclaimer and explanation of use before proceeding if you have any questions about how the test virus should be used. This purple button is in the upper-left corner of the page. Clicking it takes you to a page from which you can download the EICAR test file. It's near the bottom of the page. You can click the eicar.com link in either the "Download area using the standard protocol http" section or the "Download area using the secure, SSL enabled protocol https" section. The file will attempt to download. It may take several seconds to begin downloading. If the file successfully makes it to your computer's "Downloads" location, you will most likely see a pop-up warning you that a malicious file was detected. If you're on a Windows computer and your Windows Defender antivirus is enabled, the file won't even be allowed to download. You can circumvent this by re-downloading the file several times in quick succession, clicking the Windows Defender pop-up notification, clicking the name of the file in the "Current threats" section, checking the "Allow on device" box, clicking Start actions, and clicking Allow when prompted. If the file still hasn't been picked up by your antivirus program, manually scan for threats from within your antivirus program. This will usually cause the file to be found, quarantined, and removed from your computer. If your antivirus scan still won't pick up the file, you should invest in a different antivirus program.
