Im trying to stay as safe as possible from a virus/malware infecting host via VM. I have been on forums and a good half of people say your safe on a VM..while the other half says all this stuff to keep u safe and how your not ALL that safe.

I usually use my VM and nothing ever got on the host, i mean i never tried downloading malware,just PUPS,Regular Rogue AV's and a few other odds and ends. But are you really that safe? I use a NAT and my host is ethernet. Am i really that safe?
