once you dont share files between the guess and the host operating system you should be ok
the host is your main operating and the guess is your VM operating system
in some cases you would disconnect it from the network because you don,t want more malware coming in

in the real world you would download a set of malware removal programs
put them on a flash drive disconnect from the network
then run the malware removal programs from the flash drive
but since you are testing in a VM you should not share flash drive between the main operating and the VM
what you can is to download a set of malware removal programs in a folder before putting viruses on it
