Seeing .YAYA file extension appended to your files means that you have been hit by one of the recent versions of the Globe Imposter ransomware virus. The files might be recovered with Free Globe Imposter decryptor from Emsisoft (download link). However, you have to remove the virus from your computer first.
You have to obtain a professional security software and delete the virus with the help of it. However, ransomware might prevent you from installing or accessing security software. Thus, you may need to reboot the computer to the Safe Mode with Networking. We have provided detailed removal instructions here. Please, follow them carefully.
Once the malware is wiped out, you can download and try the decryption. If some of the files remain encrypted, you should try alternative recovery methods
or use backups.

I will follow the instruction, if it doesnt work, is there any other solution?
do you know if i pay the ransom, and get the decrypter from the guy
is there any website I can submit those files and information, so they can work on the decrypter?
thank you again
We understand that your files are important and you want to get them back as soon as possible. However, paying the ransom is not recommended. Cyber criminals created this ransomware in order to swindle the money. There's no guarantee that they have working decryptor or keep their word and let you use it. Thus, paying the ransom is an easy way to lose your money as well.
Talking about alternative recovery methods, we can suggest two options. However, we cannot guarantee that they will restore all of your files. It's not an actual decryption tools. If ransomware did not delete Shadow Volume Copies, you could use the ShadowExplorer tool. It can restore files from shadow copies. However, if these files are deleted, this tool doesn't work.
Data Recovery Promight restore some files too. Originally, this software is created to restore corrupted files after system wreckage. However, in some cases, it helped victims of the ransomware to get back at least some files.
Hopefully, this information will help you. If not, please be patient. I previous versions of Globe Imposter were decrypted, new ones should be decrypted soon as well!
