Hello. regret to read about this sort of severe, malicious damage. Malwareebytes has no decryptor of any sort. Has never had such a fixer. This type of ransomware is classified as STOP series of ransomware. See https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/t/671473/stop-ransomware-stop-djvu-puma-promo-support-topic/page-795#entry5568571

The best way to recover damaged files is from a previously made system backup.

The best way to protect your system is to have Malwarebytes Premium installed. It would have stopped the ransomware. Further, Backup is your best friend. Make a habit to have system backups on offline removable-media or a cloud service. In addition, practice safe practices on the internet and staying away from dodgy downloads or installs of so-called "free games / free stuff" from dodgy sources.

1. Recommend using a Password Manager for all websites, etc. that require a password. Never use the same password on more than one site.
