I'm with Milas. I'd recommend one other real-time protection if you're going to use Windows Defender. If not real-time, at least get a few on-demand scanners like Zemana, Emsisoft, or Malwarebytes.

Simple and good config ;)

WD is good if you not doing any risks..

Play malwares on VM, not randomly installing programs.

yeah, make sure every single node in your network always in real-time protected because I think threat can spread out from VM to real machine.

So far no problem.. I have 3 systems in my house. Connected with same internet, also my phones. No problem.

Im sure VM is safe enough so far..

I usually use different vendors with different machine to cover each other.

Using NAT adapter in network settings of a VM + no shared folders between guest and host (and if you are really paranoid use VPN) should be enough.These are the default settings in VirtualBox anyways, so dont change anything without consulting MT guides. The static malware at the hub I am sure will not affect any firmware or BIOS(bootkits) but having another system( old will do) and another non related connection is preferable.
