Twitter has banned advertising from Russian security vendor Kaspersky Lab since January, the head of the firm, Eugene Kaspersky, has disclosed.

American multinational office supplies retailer Staples has become the third big chain in the country to pull Kaspersky Lab software from its shelves.

For a good part of this year, Kaspersky Lab has become the meat in the sandwich as US politicians have ramped up attacks on Russia, following on from the anti-Moscow sentiment which has gathered steam after last year's presidential elections.

Russian Government employees are claimed to have used Kaspersky's anti-virus software to search for the code names of US intelligence programmes, while Israeli intelligence officials looked on, a report claims.

American office supply retailer Office Depot has become the second big outlet to remove Kaspersky Lab software from its shelves, with a ban coming in the middle of September.
