(Reuters) – U.S. security software maker Symantec Corp said its products are not banned by the Chinese government after Chinese media reported that the government’s procurement agency has excluded the company from a list of approved anti-virus vendors. The state-controlled People’s Daily said on its English Twitter feed on Sunday that the agency has excluded Symantec and Russia’s Kaspersky Lab from a list of security software suppliers. “It is important to note that this list is only for certain types of procurement and Symantec products are not banned by the Chinese government. We are investigating this report and will continue to bid for and win government projects in China,” a Symantec representative told Reuters.
