Virus and Spyware Removal Guides, uninstall instructions
What is XiaoBa?
First discovered by MalwareHunterTeam, XiaoBa is a ransomware-type virus that stealthily infiltrates systems and encrypts stored files. During encryption, XiaoBa appends filenames with the ".Encrypted[BaYuCheng@yeah.net].XiaBa" extension (e.g., "sample.jpg" is renamed to "sample.jpg.Encrypted[BaYuCheng@yeah.net].XiaBa").
Following successful encryption, XiaoBa creates two files ("_XiaoBa_Info_.hta" and "_XiaoBa_Info_.bmp"), placing them on the desktop. It also opens the .hta file and sets the .bmp file as the desktop wallpaper. Other variants of this ransomware use ".[BaYuCheng@yeah.net].china" and .[xiaoba_666@163.com]Encrypted_(victim ID).XIAOBA extensions for encrypted files.
What is Windows Product Key Expired?
"Windows Product Key Expired" is another fake error similar to Google Security Warning, Cydoor Spyware, Internet Security Alert, and many others.
This error is displayed by a malicious website that users often visit inadvertently - they are redirected by various PUPs (potentially unwanted programs) that infiltrate systems without permission.

One System Care is presented as an application that helps to clean computer systems of various junk files - "OneSystemCare fully cares for your laptop and computer to protect it from unnecessary junk files and recurring issues by thoroughly scanning and inspecting its many components."
