I recently started posting tech videos about virtual machines on youtube and I want to test viruses in my virtual machines for my YouTube account, but I am unsure how do I set a VMware workstation pro 14 virtual machine correctly so virus can not get to my main unit. Does anyone know what setting shuld I apply for me to make sure the Viruses stay contained?
Don't give the VM any kind of virtual network adapter in the hardware settings: Removing Hardware from a Virtual Machine
Or disconnect the virtual network adapter: Configuring Virtual Network Adapter Device Status Settings

Also, don't enable any of the VMware Shared Folders.
In addition to the above: Only run your virus in a fully up to date VMware Workstation Professional version...
FTR, Workstation 14 has known escapes, so I personally wouldn't run a virus in that and first upgrade to Workstation 15.5
