Regrettably, the answer is no. Batch Antivirus relies on a relatively small database (193k hashes). Despite its apparent size, the continuous emergence of new malware poses a significant challenge in maintaining up-to-date definitions. The more severe malware detections are kept up to date. Batch Antivirus provides effective file monitoring and common malware detection capabilities, however, the combined use of Batch Antivirus and an alternative antivirus solution is strongly recommended. Think of Batch Antivirus as an extra protection layer.
No, Batch Antivirus can be used portably. Real-time protection relies on folder change monitoring and not on kernel drivers. Although not needed, running real-time protection (RealTimeProtection.bat) and the drive scanner (BAV.bat) with administrator privileges to scan system files is recommended.
If you're willing to have better security, consider adding Batch Antivirus as an autorun with BAVAutorun.bat and selection option 3 (shell). Setting Batch Antivirus as your shell will run the protection before any other startup program.
The speed of drive scanning is constrained by the inherent limitations of batch processing, particularly in launching new processes. Nonetheless, significant optimizations have been implemented to speed up folder scanning during real-time protection.
No, Batch Antivirus doesn't collect any data because user's privacy is a priority. To get the active TCP connections, Batch Antivirus uses the command netstat -no to retrieve the data. Afterwards, the IPs found are looked up on VirusDataBaseHash.bav database to check if a malicious or blocked website was visited.

The Deep scanner module checks for patterns usually found in malware. Even though it has been adjusted to minimize false positives, it is impossible to mitigate all false positives. Programs that change registry settings or tweaker scripts are susceptible to false positives due to their potentially dangerous behavior.
