All products by Qihoo 360, a Chinese security software company, were removed from Apple's app store on Monday, which may be the most severe reaction from Apple, Qianjiang Evening News reported.

Apple did not explain why they removed Qihoo 360's applications except to say that the software may not be compatible with the Apple iSO system.

A staff member from Qihoo 360 also said the company is planning to launch a lawsuit against Jinshan, a competitor, for allegedly spreading rumors about Qihoo 360's use of customer information that led to the removal of its products, the paper said.
