    Oh.

    I see that a Community Moderator converted your thread from a Discussion to a Question.

    Do you have a question?

    It is not quite clear (to me at least) why you've created this thread....

    In case that you do indeed have a problem with ransomware:

    It would be helpful if you would describe your problem more precisely, see:
    Suggestions for asking a question on help forums

    Without knowing more details, suggestion to read/do:

    Try to identify with what Ransomware you're dealing here:
