    Just found this antivirus. The UI looks similar to ShieldApps Antivirus and Secure Antivirus 360.

    I performed a quick scan and it found three threats, one of them marked as a trojan relating to Tencent PC Manager. I'm confident that they were false positives, so I didn't remove.

    Does anyone know what AV engines it uses?

    It's a rebrand of Shield Antitivirus, which uses Avira's scan engine (just like Secure Antivirus 360).

    No, there are better alternatives than avs.
