[QUOTE="S3cur1ty 3nthu5145t, post: 637766, member: 62423"] I run Appguard on my Host and have placed Vmware in its Guarded Apps to mitigate any potential exploits via memory, and have isolated the guest from the Host completely. Utilizing NAT networking does not allow the Guest direct access to the Network, although you will still want something on the Host to monitor the network with. Both Norton and Eset have excellent Network monitor/scanning, and both have proved to be quite reliable for this task. Combine them with Appguard in Lockdown mode on the Host when you fire up that VM, and chances of anything nailing the network or Host are now very slim. Setting a snapshot as stated above and resetting it after is also a good idea, and a practice i do without thinking now days. I have run my share of malware through my VM over time, and have yet to have an incident. [/QUOTE]
