I purposely infected my computer with SpySheriff... The point is, I did it on a Virtual Computer :D

But is it possible for it to get out, and attack my actual system?

Occasionally on actual system startup, I get a Norton AV warning message saying something about a possible virus trying to disable it... I'm not worried much yet... All I would have to do is just delete my VMC

If you've set up your virtualisation software correctly, then there is no way that the spyware can get from your virtual machine to your real machine.

However, you still have to be careful when copying files over or sharing external devices like flash drives, as since they are accessible by both the virtual machine and the normal machine the spyware could spread from one to the other.
