    Hi,

    Windows on a Hyper-V VM is exposed to malware and viruses like any other operating system. If your Hyper-V VMs are connected to virtual switches, other VMs or physical machines connected to the same network may be affected as well.

    It is recommended to deploy an antivirus solution on Hyper-V machines to mitigate the risk of infection.

    Best Regards,

    Ian Xue
