Never heard about it. Indo-American joint venture company with no background.
Their FAQ section is rather strange: FAQs - SecuraShield Ultimate Internet Security
Also their "privacy policy" or "terms of use" is non-existent, links point to nowhere.
No thanks

No, it's from the same site, it just has poor ratings and suspicious. As @Amelith Nargothrond said, if you go to the FAQ from that page you linked to and try to find their Privacy Policy and Terms of Use, it leads just right back to the beginning of the FAQ.
That worries me...

I have been around the block a few times, I know, I posted that for those that
may not know and will avoid it.
Glad you were smart about it, that's a good sign
and Welcome to MT
I'm suprisingly very impressed so far. It appears to be using its own signatures, which of course for unknown antiviruses is usually a bad thing, leading to very poor detection rates and often serious issues with false positives. However, I did a scan of a flash drive with 667 installers (nearly 8GB in size) on it, including many PUPs, and it completed in just over 20 seconds. There were also some other files on there too as the flash drive as it also had the Windows 10 setup files on it. Not only was the scan incredibly fast, but it detected 82 files (a much better job than many well known antiviruses). A look at what was deteted, indicated that there was only a single false positive, and almost all of the threats were detected by name rather than the typical gereric trojan detections which PUPs are often detected as. So it is detecting the PUPs from sigantures not by heuristics.
Not only was the scan very fast, but CPU was low (around 25%) when scanning, and this and old laptop with just a Core 2 Duo CPU.
Of course being able to detect actual malware is much more important than detecting PUPs, so I'm going to scan some malware now.

I just did some very quick tests against actual malware. I tested a malware pack from today containing 15 threats and it detected nothing. Panda detected three threats. I also tested a malware pack from five days ago containing 20 threats and it detected 13. Panda detected 3 of the remaining 7 threats.
It appears that there is no way to whitelist any files/folders you don't want detected.
Edit: You can manually exclude files and folders. However, there is no option to ignore files when they are detected or when restoring them form quarantine.
In the scanning options there are different categories you can select to scan, such as antivirus, antimalware, antimalware and low risk programs. However at the moment it does now work, as I always got the scan results even when I unchecked some of the categories.

Interesting, I didn't even bother to check or to test. Thanks
~15 euros / 1 PC / 1 year. I had to convert from rupee to euro, as they don't look like they sell to anybody else than India.
It seems the realtime protection has some issues, with it not quarantining some files it says it has quarantined. I'm not sure about heuristics.
