Better option is to stop using win 7 & use either win 8.1 with classic shell or open shell or win 10.

Better switch to Windows 10 without ms store or linux. I personally using linux and windows 7 in virtualbox.

Upgrade your OS immediately (after doing format of complete disk) don’t use it as your pc is hacked by infusion of RANSOMWARE virus attack most probably which is distributed by email phishing attack and script files… Your pc is totally in control of the hacker as long as you are using the infected os…he can even control your Webcam & and can take your pictures can talk with you by creating pop-up of chat window at desktop and then he will ask you crypto currency payment for decryption of encrypted data.. .. This is my own experience I’m telling you and I lost my all important documents and photos…

So,

First and foremost immediately format whole disk and install windows 8,10….

Then install easus or recuva data recovery software it will help you to recover your important documents… As I got most of the documents recovered… Hope you will get it too…

Unfortunately this ransomware virus attack is inevitable…

Always be cautioned while downloading any files from untrusted source and never open your spam emails which could contain scripted file.

If you enabled system restore before this attack, may be it can help to restore your files (Not sure, but my guess)

I’m yet to read this article. ( https://www.pcrisk.com/removal-guides/16877-reh... )

The first thing u need to do when your PC gets infected is stop following these websites/tutorials and installing their malware removal tools
If u do..then there’s a risk of losing the remaining documents on your PC smile

You are still using Window 7? In 2020?
Just update or boot it to Window 10 and get antivirus software (either Kaspersky or QuickHeal Internet Security for affordability)

OP You Said You Have Internet Security Installed. If So Then Contact The Antivirus Company They Will Help You With This, Because You Were H@cked / Ransomware When Their Software So Installed To Protect Your PC From Such Threat.

No security company helps in this manner except providing the usual help of removing infection & absolutely no help in recovering data which is anyway not possible unless a way is found to either break the ransomware encryption key(may take years or never happen at all) or get their hands on master encryption key which hackers used(again very little chance).
