.MTXLOCK File Extension
If you suddenly find the .MTXLOCK File Extension (full extension is “.[RestoreFile@qq.com].MTXLOCK”) attached to your personal files, and they cannot be opened, you must be dealing with the MTXLOCK Ransomware. Ransomware is the kind of malware that demands a payment in return for something that the victim needs. In most cases, files are encrypted, and a decryptor or a decryption key is offered as an incentive to pay the ransom.

If you have contacted cyber crooks, and they made a request for a specific sum, you can share that with us via the comments section.
