Uses Augnitum engine which is the one used in Outpost.

Same exact style of UI from Utiltool Antivirus to Prevention Antivirus (These also use the same Augnitum engine).

Utiltool AV is based in same country where I live:
UtilTool Limited
Suites 41/42
Victoria House
26 Main Street
Gibraltar

I found this video review of it from about 2 years ago,which seemed to be the most unbiased one out of the few I looked at



Review done by PcMag

PROS
Free. Quick install. Fast full scan. Received VB100% award in one of two attempts.

CONS
Poor malware detection rate in testing. Poor removal of threats it did detect. Poor ability to keep malware from installing on a clean system.

BOTTOM LINE
Just because something's free doesn't mean it's a bargain. This nondescript antivirus won't cost you any money, but relying on it will cost you in reduced security. Some products do better at keeping a clean system clean than at rooting out entrenched malware; this one isn't good at either.
