Is is possible to run/test suspicious software/files in a virtual machine without it effecting my main system if it happens to contain malware?

i have a question if i set a virtual machine and i asign it 50gb of space and 2gb of ram, if i close the virtualbox, then my computer will take again the resources, until i open again virtualbox? or the resources are permanently assigned to virtual box until i delete it? tnx

[JAYJAY1787]

okay i got this working just be sure if you want this to work your graphics card isnt blocking it such like nvida cards something called FX control but as long as you dont install that along with it you should be running this mode look up info on your cards ahead of time if theres a know issue uninstall the card and reinstall it but leave out whats keeping this mode from running. cheers!

@JAYJAY1787 I think so.

[JAYJAY1787]

@davfun1  Nah man i set up my xp with 50 giggs and it took up no disk space on my host computers hard drive

[ryanmc353]

No as long as you do it in the virtual machine

[thecomputerguy58]

No it doesn't it sets a limit of storage.

[GreatDude2008]

@davfun1, no it wont take 10gigs of your hardrive it will just make its own little hard drive and it will be like about a 600 or 700mb file or so. Well i think anyway

[davfun1]

If i set a virtual machine to have 10Gigs will it take that 10 Gigs from my hardrive??

[MagicRevealer09]

so if i play a game that gives a virus in it wont harm my computer?
