Hi ashok838283,

It looks like you've been infected with one of the newer variants of the STOP (Djvu) Ransomware.

Although we can remove the infection, your best chance at possibly recovering your files is to post in the following topic at Bleeping Computer: Link.

Regards,
mAL

Thank you mAL,

Is it possible to recover the data? What I need to do as the files are not deleted. I assume Only deleted files can be recovered, What in case of Encrypted?

Please help,
Ashok

With STOP (Djvu) Ransomware there are a lot of variants, some are decryptable, and some are not (or at least not yet).

For further information we suggest you read through the following article ... https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/t/671473/stop-ransomware-stop-puma-djvu-promo-drume-help-support-topic/#entry4442422 ... and post for help at Bleeping Computer. They have a number of decryption experts on staff, and will have a better idea of just what is possible with the version that you have.
