This was my personal and honest experience with Avast. They were the first scareware pioneers, If you have used them as I did you would have noticed.
I did use it then and I never experienced that. I bet it was some unrelated coincidence. They would not do that.

I grew up in Eastern Europe and moved to Western Europe in my early 20s and the difference is that in the East, STEM was very popular for kids in high school and university as it offered access to engineering careers which were the most lucrative considering how poor the economy was in the 90s, helping kids of lower class background move upwards(just like in the US) and it would also open doors later in life to emigr…
Not sure, what western european countries pays as much for a tech job as for any other desk job? Also i dont think it has something to do with skills, more like with criminals creating virii and thus developing and understanding of how security works.

There is quite a large difference between tech salaries depending on nationality of the company, their approach to tech and location in the UK. A Principal Software Engineer in the South East can make six figures easily, the same in the midlands will be much less, and that's only 90 miles apart.
That's a huge wage differential for a country the size of Michigan
I might be an outlier, I live 55 miles away from work (1h15m commute each way) so that I can have a higher salary, but much bigger house, better transport links, good schools for the kids etc.
