I can run this tool, safely and normaly, on my personal laptop without any virtualization software?

Personally I've always run tools like this in a VM (which I already did). Mostly due to paranoia and I like to test tools like this with multiple AV and a VM is the best way to do that. I haven't seen this tool do anything negative to the system but then again, I didn't check the system beyond memory via task manager. Run it on your host at your own risk. I personally don't recommend it. VM is a nice controlled/sterile environment to run these test so nothing else gets in the way and alters tests.

It marks me as safe,and I ran it normally. I am not really sure if it's a good idea to run it in VMs(it checks for repetitive memory allocation addresses).But you can for safety. See GoogleProjectZeroBlog.Eset used to have a packer vulnerability, fixed earlier in July 2015 according to this,fixed within 2 days :).

Pale Moon is not detected by the exploit scanner(awesome), must use the big three. I had used IE 11.

The test works fine in a VM. I used an AV that was vulnerable (Webroot), and one that wasn't (Windows Defender). Ran the test multiple times to make sure I got the same result using both IE 11 and Google Chrome.

Could you try Kaspersky and SOPHOS as mentioned in that blog? Or any generous forum member blessed with a powerful VM and some spare time.

Tested on VM with outdated IE 8 which turn out to be not vulnerable to exploitable constant RWX address, guess seems it should depends on the programs that can be alongside for that as mentioned where some AV's contains security risks.

Avira Free passed (followed instructions testing twice to be sure) with out of the box settings (just installed it last night). I made sure to turn Malwarebytes AntiExploit Free off as it is the only other real-time protection I am using atm.

Edit: Summary of my testing: AV testing! Message #44
