Virus .udjvu

Same problem with me. Please help once someone will get key 

Regards

Your home PC was infected with a STOP Ransomware variant using the .udjvu extension.

Your work PC apparently was infected with a differect ransomware which appears to use a random extension. More information is needed to determine specifically what infection you are dealing with since there are several different ransomware infections which append a random 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, etc character extension to the end of all affected filenames (i.e. CTB-Locker, Crypt0L0cker, Magniber, GandCrab V5, CryptON (Cry9, Cry36, Cry128, Nemesis), Skull, MrDec (Mr.Dec), SynAck, Maktub Locker, Alma Locker, Princess Locker, Princess Evolution, Locked-In, Mischa, Goldeneye, Al-Namrood 2.0, Cerber v4x/v5x and some Xorist variants).

The best way to identify the different ransomwares that use "random character extensions" is the ransom note (including it's name), samples of the encrypted files, any obvious extensions appended to the encrypted files, information related to any email addresses or hyperlinks provided by the cyber-criminals to request payment and the malware file responsible for the infection.

You can submit (upload) samples of encrypted files, ransom notes and any contact email addresses or hyperlinks provided by the cyber-criminals to ID Ransomware (IDR) for assistance with identification and confirmation of the infection. This is a service that helps identify what ransomware may have encrypted your files, whether it is decryptable and then attempts to direct you to an appropriate support topic where you can seek further assistance.

Crypto malware (ransomware) and other forms of malware spread via a variety of common vectors...opening a malicious or spam email attachment, executing a malcious file, exploits, exploit kits, web exploits, malvertising campaigns, fileless malware, non-malware attack, drive-by downloads, social engineering, and RDP bruteforce attacks against servers particularly by those involved with the development and spread of ransomware.

Section 2 in this topic explains in more detail the most common methods Crypto malware (file encrypting ransomware) is typically delivered and spread.

The best defensive strategy to protect yourself from malware and ransomware (crypto malware) infection is a comprehensive approach to include prevention. Make sure you are running an updated anti-virus and anti-malware product, update all vulnerable software, use supplemental security tools with anti-exploitation features capable of stopping (preventing) infection before it can cause any damage, close/disable Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) if you do not need it and routinely backup your data...then disconnect the external drive when the backup is completed. If you must use RDP, the best way to secure it is to either whitelist IP's on a firewall or not expose it to the Internet. Put RDP behind a firewall, only allow RDP from local traffic, setup a VPN to the firewall, use an RDP gateway, change the default RDP port (TCP 3389) and enforce strong password policies, especially on any admin accounts or those with RDP privileges.

Yesterday I was using my computer normally then suddenly a popup showed telling me that there was updates installing and I knew that it's not from Microsoft  as when I opened the source from task manger I found that it's not related to Microsoft updates so I click on end task then I tried to open Windows defender but it showed this message " page not available Your IT administrator as limited access to some areas of this app, and the item you tried to access is not available. Contact IT helpdesk for more information. Then I found that a program called windows powershell is installed by itself .. Then the screen blacked out showing only this message when I tried to open Task manger " Task manger has been disabled by your administrator" 

SO I tried to restart the my computer but couldn't open start...after managing to restart by pressing the  power button for awhile to restore windows from a restore points , there was three but all failed and also repair failed so click on reset my computer but keep my files ..when it finished I found all my files "pictures , programs , pdfs, doxc, " all of it ended with this extension

.udjvu

like in the picture attached 

So How can I get my files back and open them?

"when I tried to use snap tool I didn't find it"
