Most likely your computer was attacked by the latest MerryChristmas ransomware version. There are several versions of the virus, which is also known as Merry X-Mas! ransomware: one of them adds .MRCR1 file extension, others tend to add .RARE1 or .PEGS1 extensions to encrypted files. Sadly, no one of malware researchers was lucky enough to create an antidote for .Merry virus, and it is unlikely to happen in the future - it is very hard to reverse malware like ransomware. Your computer needs to be cleaned with anti-malware software; it will also successfully remove .Merry file extension virus. We suggest using reliable malware removers such as FortectIntego.
