File virus ransomware is a type of malware that encrypts files and demands payment for decryption.
I saved an app and then unexpectedly it turned into a virus, infecting my PC. All my files are locked and I can’t open them. The file extension is .mmpa. I have no idea how to recover or fix this. I’m unsure if resetting the PC is the best option or if there’s a way to restore without wiping everything. Please help me out!
It varies. If you're infected with the latest version, recovering your files is unlikely. The malware employs strong encryption (AES-256 CFB), making it nearly impossible to decrypt without the key. The previous iteration kept the key safely offline, allowing security experts to restore your data. Without the key, decrypting remains unattainable.

This page lists various decryption tools available online. It doesn’t specifically target the ransomware in question, though it offers many resources.
If "reset" means clearing the disk and starting fresh with Windows, then yes, that might resolve the issue. Be aware you'll lose any files not saved elsewhere. Try not to back up files that are already infected, since reinstalling could spread the problem.
I attempted it but after clicking okay it goes back to selecting the language.
