We purchased a machine from China and it came with malware preinstalled

Is there a reliable way to research non-Chinese manufactured products? I know to just look for the “made in” somewhere on the page or product, but it’s not as simple as including a search tag in a field, either.

I've noticed lately that in the Q&A section of the majority of the items I look at on Amazon, someone asks where the item was made.

That's helpful. I've always wanted to know where my stuff comes from, from my food to my gadgets. So I encourage other people do ask the same questions on Amazon. It helps other people.

This browser addon claims to show the origin country of any item: https://www.wecultivate.us/

I haven't tried it much though (I'm not in the USA).

Sadly Amazon doesn't respect the NOT operator anymore:
