Hola amigos, my pc has been infected by the GANDCRAB ransomware or so i think after reading the read me files it generated in my pc. These files are genereated in almost every folder of every single drive. And yea it did encrypted some of my .zip files by UMAXCTKQH extension. For SS check the link attached-

What AV or malware tools do you use already?

Did this encrypt any system files? If so, a full wipe and reinstall is what's called for.
Getting rid of the ransomware doesn't bring your stuff back.

MalwareBytes says it can (maybe) remove the virus.

Recover from a backup you made before this happened.
Failing that, a full wipe and reinstall.

There are two parts to this...one is removing the infection.
May be possible

Two is actually recovering your data.
This is probably not possible.
