I want to infect my VM with Security Sphere 2012, but is my host OS safe from getting infected by this fake antivirus? I heard it comes with a rootkit, so I am a bit worried.

Do I have to do anything before starting this activity?

I would think if your host machine has comodo firewall if anything did manage to get through comodo would pick up the change before it could do anything

As long the VM was virtualized and security application were running then the attempted of jumping from host machine would be prevented.
