Use Virtual Machine as offline secure computer?

It read somewhere that if you want to keep particular applications secure to use a computer that is not connected to the internet ever. I am curious to know if this can apply to a VMWare or Virtual Box machine as well. If the host remains connected to the internet is a viable solution to set up your virtual machine with no internet access? Or does the host being connected run a considerable risk?

No feedback from the author, no details about the usage scenario.
Of course, just disconnecting the guest does not make it secure for all scenarios.

Author should return, else, an even split between experts would be much fairer.
Even split recommended since it is not possible to tell which applies most.
