Matt Posted January 20, 2006 Report Share Posted January 20, 2006 There is a possability that it could get to your host os through the network, but its not a huge risk. Many people who do malware testing use virtual machines, and I haven't spoken with anyone who has ever had this probelm. I'm assuming you have a "snapshot" type feature that will allow you to revert the VM back to a previous state.. If you do become infected, you can always use that.
