Based on the information you provided, there are many versions of the ransomware that can affect your machine with the encryption process. However, the randomized file marker can indicate that you have a threat similar to previously known GandCrab ransomware. That got terminated a while ago, so you may not even know that this was the same group.
However, more recent reports show that the same hackers possibly released a similar threat with a different name. Two or three different names, to be exact. This article should provide you information and virus removal instructions.
Even though this is not the particular virus that affected your data, all the steps listed in the article can work perfectly for the type of malware that encrypts files. Of course, the initial detection depends on the severity of the ransomware and the database that the AV tool uses.
Nevertheless, the best option for file-locking malware or cryptovirus like this one that infected your device - anti-malware tool. Antivirus programs can run a full system scan on the device and detect all malicious programs, corrupted files, or direct malware programs. These tools are not going to decrypt your files the software is designed to fight malware.
For data recovery, you should get a proper decryption tool that may be developed by official researchers or rely on third-party software created for file restoring purposes. You can also recover encrypted files with your file backups, but these should be up to date. Remember to fully remove all traces of the virus, store files that got encrypted for the future when the decryption tool gets released, and ONLY THEN replace locked files with new ones.
