ENC file problem- don't know how to open it

[kelly mort]

A friend sent me a file to open for him. The file extension has now become like this:

Book1.docx.nakw

From his end, he inserted a flash drive into his system and all his files got the new strange file extensions.

I have come across such situations, mostly when I send an unzipped workbook through WhatsApp.

How I solve that is to send a zipped one to replace the first.

With this new situation, the there is no original file to do that.

No backups too.

I tried to change the extension from the properties menu but that just rendered the file unusable.

Does someone know how to resolve this?

Thanks in advance

It is a ramsomware; google search for "remove NAKW ransomware"
