Advice Request Hyper-V - Safe To Test Malware Files?

[Lemon60]

Hi Guys!

I installed Hyper-V and Windows 10 18950 for test some malware files (with WD) but i don't know, some viruses can access network and can affect host pc. So, Hyper-V, its good idea?

I do not think it's a good idea unless you know your way around with Hyper-V. It's a little more complex to set-up and configure than VirtualBox or VMware Player / Workstation (Paid).

No not really.

i am curious as to why? i was thinking of buying shadowdefender but have windows pro, so i thought i might as well save the money and just try out hyper v. is there something weak in it that could compromise your system if malware testing?
