As this is a pc gaming forum most of you would probably have some knowledge about viruses
Can anyone help me. I'm thinking about doing virus tests on a VM but how can I make sure that it doesnt infect my host?
Thanks :)

What I do is just let a virus scanner go over my PC to search for any virusses or something. What do you mean with a VM?

Virtual Machine.
Your Virual Machine wouldn't affect the host at all, however, I'd be extremely careful with the viruses you are testing, some malware is effectively powerful and could create problems within the VM Software which could eventually affect the overall host/PC.

So, how can I prevent that?
Basically don't test anything on your pc/network if you don't know what you're doing. Get a cheap Windows or Ubuntu server instead and test it on there.

Ok you should do the virtual machine on a usb stick or a different harddrive

Thats the best idea or just use a different pc

Maybe a bit of a dumb question, but do chat prefixes exist on Cubecraft Java like they do on Bedrock?
