Hi,

Some people recommeded VMWare. While being a great product in general,
you might run into problems when using it for malware analysis.
Malware these days, at least the sophisticated ones, detect that they
are running inside a virtual machine. Your results are
therefore not what you migh expect. We use Core Restore instead.

It might be cool to see what files are created,changed or deleted, but
it does not give you a real clue what the malware does. Take the
banking trojans as an example. Most of them trigger only when the
victim types in the correct URL of the targeted bank. You need not
only file/registry tools, you should combine that with WiresShark for
network traffic analysis, Paros to see what is going on on the web
application part, OllyDbg to analyze the malware sample more deeply
etc. etc.

Hope that helps
