Is Hyper V secure against malicious software?

Is Hyper V secure against malware? To be more specific, there is a possibility that I may encounter malicious programs (malware testing or otherwise) on my virtual machine, and something that I do not want is for the malware to transmit itself from the virtual machine to the host machine. Is Hyper V secure against this? 

If not, to which degree is the host machine protected? Would Hyper-V be "safer" or "more secure" than Virtualbox or VMware in any way?

I intend to run Windows 10 on the virtual machine, if this information is relevant.
