if you use imaging software on a separate hard drive then restoring a pc is not a problem and fast so no nuke at all

and if testing is what you do you would not do it on a network

and you know since you use virtual machines that thay do not run the same as a real pc thay are slower and thats a fact

and i think the slowness of a VM can affect the test if to much is going on as seen in some of these videos

I have about 6gb of Ram dedicated to my VM. I still get a little slow down occasionally. For the most part things work fairly well and testing malware hasn't been a problem in VM. If I had an older laptop I would test on it.

old PCs for testing malware are best , they are just REAL , of course they must be isolated from the network ; and when the test is finish ; just restore a clean image or use multipasses wiping software to clean it properly; then reinstall. nothing complicated and risky here.

yeah until you get your files get ransomed and after all a very good repair pc person is who good with windows and Linux said to me once that its is better to test malware on a vm then testing on real pc for safely reasons

if it is a malware testing PC , it should not have any files so who care if you get ransomned or not...

if you don't have a spare old cheap PC for malware testing, better not doing tests at all; no way i use my normal PC for malware testing even in a VM
