The host anti-malware protects: The VirtualBox application itself, VM files stored on disk (.vdi, .vbox, snapshots, etc.), network traffic it can observe, and some interactions between host and guest. But it may not fully inspect: malware executing inside the guest OS, memory activity inside the...

VirtualBox VMs are only partially protected by the host anti-malware. A native-boot Windows VHD is essentially not protected by the host’s AV while booted into it. Your setup (host Webroot + Defender disabled; Defender enabled inside VMs) is generally the correct way to think about isolation.
