AntiCMOS

<h2 id="anticmosb">AntiCMOS.B</h2>
<p>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.
Infected <a href="/facts/Floppy_disk/rShxfuxa">floppy disks</a> contain the following text:

<p>Additionally, AntiCMOS.B attempts to play a tune, but this fails due to coding errors <a href="http://www.f-secure.com/v-descs/anticmos.shtml">[1]</a>.  AntiCMOS.B is otherwise a typical boot virus, much like its predecessor.
</p>
<h2 id="anticmosc">AntiCMOS.C</h2>
<p>AntiCMOS.C is a boot virus and very minor variant of the AntiCMOS family.  Unlike AntiCMOS and AntiCMOS.B, AntiCMOS.C remained in the field for a very short period of time, and is now considered entirely obsolete.
