Does anyone have a complete guide on how to safely torrent and avoid viruses? (lemm.ee)

My concern is viruses and I was curious if you could force an internal hdd/external hdd to ONLY connect to the virtual machine in vmware and make is so that it doesn't connect to the host at all. I know that you can connect external drive to vmware but it will auto connect to the host if no vmware machine is running.

Obviously I have a VPN kill switch so VPN leaks shouldn't be an issue, but as I said my main concern is viruses and my ideal setup would probably be having external drive or an internal drive ONLY able to connect to a vmware virutal machine, but perhaps this can't be done? Or isn't the correct setup for safety?

I looked into seed boxes and tbh I would rather just seed torrents from my own machine and not pay for a service like that.

I mean perhaps the best setup is to have a completly seperate machine for torrenting purposes, but for me this is out of the budget right now..
