Office Depot says it will no longer sell anti-virus software made by Russian company Kaspersky Labs, a day after the U.S. government banned federal agencies from using it.
The U.S. Department of Homeland Security on Wednesday cited concerns about Kaspersky's possible ties to the Kremlin and Russian intelligence services as the reason for the ban. Moscow-based Kaspersky has denied any unethical ties with Russia or any government.
Electronics retailer Best Buy Co. has also stopped selling Kaspersky's software.
