[QUOTE="ForgottenSeer 103564, post: 1057049"] Was the guest machine connected to the internet? Stealer malware functions by connecting out bound to a command and control server. Once it does so, if the guest was not run in a VPN, your guest system address was just obtained. Do you understand the specific malware, what type of info stealer is it, is it embedded with a keylogger, is it tied to a botnet, ect. A rule of thumb, if you have to ask if its safe to do something, you probably should not be doing it. Messing with malware without experience is never a good idea. [/QUOTE]
