[QUOTE="illumination, post: 745738"] Have not been able to say this enough in the last couple years. As well as keeping the Guest fully Isolated from the host, i never tested unless i had the full arsenal of monitoring tools engaged while doing so, as many can be used as quick kill switches such as Process Explorer and TCPview. I certainly never test outside of a VM environment, and absolutely check into the sample to learn of what it does before proceeding to launch them. This also makes monitoring of the system easier knowing what/where the sample will effect the system. Many believe testing is a quick, slap it in the VM type of thing, and this is far from the truth, to do it properly is very time consuming, most of this time spent in preparation and research, the rest of it spent in monitoring.
