Trump's administration last month barred government agencies from using Kaspersky Lab anti-virus products.

Kaspersky Lab will ask independent parties to conduct security reviews of its widely used anti-virus software to help dispel allegations that the Russian government uses the products to conduct espionage, the Moscow-based company said on Monday. 

Kaspersky said in a statement that it would submit the source code of its software and future product updates for review by "the broader information-security community and other stakeholders." It also vowed to have outside parties review other aspects of its business, including software development.
