You have been affected by Lokf ransomware that is one of the more recent versions in the family of Djvu virus. Unfortunately, this is one of those newer variants that cannot be decrypted easily. Even with the decryption tool. This software can possibly work when your files are encoded using offline keys, so you may try at least.
More about these options and online vs offline keys in the linked article, but shortly: new versions use a more secure and sophisticated RSA encryption method and online IDs that cannot be cracked easily. The previously known decryption tool was helpful due to the offline ID feature.
So when it comes to some offline IDs used by Lokf virus, they can be used for decryption, but in few cases only. Other versions in the same family that include online IDs, cannot be decrypted because even researchers have nothing to offer for the decryption.
It is not possible to unlock those files, but you can recover them using your data backups or third-party software designed to restore data. First, you need to take care of the threat and virus damage using anti-malware tools and full system cleaning methods. Do not risk getting your data permanently damaged by recovering files on virus-infected system.
