The software will be removed from computers that control critical infrastructure such as energy, finance or transport including those run by private companies. Government agencies can only continue running it if their computers are not deemed sensitive by the cybersecurity agency, as reported by Reuters.
Kaspersky's anti-virus software was banned from U.S. government networks this year because of concerns the company has close ties to intelligence agencies in Moscow and that its software could be used to enable Russian spying.
This month Britain's main cyber security agency warned British government agencies to avoid using anti-virus software from Russian companies.

"We drew on various sources for the conclusion, including information from our partners and intelligence sources."

"Given that Kaspersky Lab does not have inappropriate ties with any government, it is disappointing that this decision by the Lithuanian Government has been made," it said a written statement.
"Unfortunately, the company appears to be caught up in a geopolitical fight and this has resulted in allegations for which no credible evidence has been publicly presented."
