The only antivirus that'll fix it costs $900 and it's sold by the criminals.

This isn't shocking yet, wait until you send them the $900 and see if you and Buhari won't be needing the same shock absorbers.

was this on a hosting server or personal PC ?

What I would suggest is, depending on how important those files are, better to just restore a backup (if you have) or just forget about it.

Except of course, you easily could afford $900 without breaking a sweat.

There's no guarantee those holding your files to RANSOME would keep to their words after collecting your $900.

After now, if you engage in any of the following, kindly desist or at least use separate machine for such

1. Visiting / Watching / Downloading PORN
2. Downloading / Using nulled/hacked softwares/scripts
3. Opening / Clicking any link contained in emails / pop-up window or ad without confirming their source/authenticity. Use AD Blockers to limit ADs. Legitimate websites rarely use popUp ADs to begin with.
4. P2P (peer to peer) file sharing sites, including Torrent sites. Spyware / Ransomware could easily be disguised as scripts, music, movies, softwares, etc.
5. Phishing emails that contain malicious attachments / links
