Good configuration there, you can use Shadow Defender for testing the samples but be aware of any accidents may happen and as possible Virtual Machine should be safe next to another computer environment.

+1 for using Opera browser and extensions as you add. ;)

@dhwan: Shadow Defender should protect everything at all range including nasty Bootkits and Rootkits, the problem only is data stealing which irreversible even isolated. ;)
okay

Shadow Defender protects the MBR from writing but a data stealer could read personal information and send it over the internet.

It is recommended that you close the internet connection when you test the malware.
thanks for nice advice

It seems a good config, only a thing: you can install a second browser, for example chrome or Firefox, and then you can install Collusion extension, which allows you to know which websites are tracking you.
Thanks for sharing your config, friend. :)

@dhwan: Usually the default recommended size is 25 GB provided but you can expand larger depends on your preference.

Its better to stay the setup as 'dynamically allocated' so that it will occupy the VM image by bits per bits, unless you are willing to have 'fixed size' which will take a longer process.
