If you were to run them in a safe env. then neither would work because nowadays malwares tend to act differently on VM's and Live's than they do on the actuall device. Sometimes they don't run, and sometimes they run "differently", which makes you think oh these malwares are not so bad, but when you run them on primary OS, BOOM! | |
