VMWare to test if software is malicious?

Basically my question is, if I install VMware on my machine and use it to run a virtual windows machine, could I use this machine to test if software is malicious.

Say I receive an exe file and am concern it might cause catastrophic damage to my system if it is run on my machine, could it run it on the vmware machine safely without causing any damage to the host?
