one suggestion
make the PC dual boot: Windows and Linux
with the Linux partition larger.

boot Linux and dd the raw Windows partition to a Linux file
boot Windows and play with malware
boot Linux and dd the file back out to the Windows partition
rince and repeat...

I used this method some years back with Win95 and FreeBSD
but I had a very small Win95 partition.
