AntiCMOS.B is a boot virus. It was isolated in mid-1995. Like AntiCMOS.A, AntiCMOS.B became common worldwide. However, this variant never reached the success level of the original, and is now considered obsolete (the original is still occasionally reported).
Infected floppy disks contain the following text:
- I am Li Xibin
Additionally, AntiCMOS.B attempts to play a tune, but this fails due to coding errors [1]. AntiCMOS.B is otherwise a typical boot virus, much like its predecessor.
