What are the risks of testing malware in a virtual machine?

I want to test malware in a virtual machine. What are the risks and how can I prevent them?

Hi bishvabis,

It is remotely possible that one of our senior malware experts will deem it worthwhile to spend some of their valuable volunteer time replying to your question.
But I doubt it.

Frankly, your question is seriously deficient, not having sufficiently introduced yourself nor provided evidence that you have minimal competencies sufficient to even ask this question.

At some future point in your learning, you may acquire familiarity with handling malicious code to the extent that the answer to and magnitude of risk involved with your broadside question will gradually reveal itself to you like the dawning sun.

In the meantime, we don't supply tips and recommendation about mixing dangerous chemicals in your basement or back yard either.
