[QUOTE="Jack, post: 41099, member: 1"] What VM software are you going to use for testing? VMware Workstation? VM Worstation is the safest virtual machine on the market , and with it there is a very really slim chance of getting infecting while using it... Why?If a malware can bypass the virtual machine software than it must have a great code and any good malware writer will have his malware poll running processes during startup of his app and look for virtual processes to prevent from being run and analyzed in a virtual environment, basically a well coded piece of malware will crash or not run in a virtual environment. I have been using a vm for quiete awhile and I have never seen a piece of malware that could actually escape from the vm and infect the system. The web guard component of a security suite can interfere with your malware testing so to not ger interrupted you can disable it , however their is no need to disable your antivirus engine while testing.
