Kaspersky Lab workers in its U.S.-based division are told they are being laid off this week .
The move comes after the Commerce Department announced last month that it was banning the sale of the company's software in the country.
The company initially vowed to fight the ban in court.
The U.S. government has banned Kaspersky antivirus software sales in the country.
The company says the ban is based on the current "geopolitical climate and theoretical concerns" The ban also prevents the company from providing updates for software already being used in the United States .
Users of the software will not face legal penalties if they continue to use it, but they will be encouraged to switch to alternatives.
