Hello,

I want to install vhost in my window 10 hyper-v. Just want to know if my host os have antivirus software and if I am testing software that contain virus will my host os antivirus detect the virus? or will it be isolated. Lets say my host OS and Virtual Machine have no connectivity. I don't connect to any virtual switch for virtual machine. Will any program run in virtual host detect by host antivirus?

    Hi,

    As far as I am concerned, anti-virus application running on Host is unable to detect virus software in VM, since VM is running isolated in VMWP.

    If the reply could be of help, please help to accept it as an answer, thanks for your cooperation!
    Thanks for your time!
    Best Regards,
    Anne
