Hello @binod, 

Welcome!

1. Read before you create a new topic!
2. .nitz ransomware possibly belongs to the STOP/DJVU family - follow *all* of this guide from Danila T.: How to remove Ransomware from Windows & decrypt files, including using the: NO MORE RANSOM site.
3. Do (you) have backups in Cloud storage or on external drives? 
4. IF (you) have an active Kaspersky software subscription, contact Kaspersky support: https://support.kaspersky.com/b2c#contacts, select either Chat or Email, then select Malware, I suspect my device is infected template; Support may request logs, traces & other data; they will guide you.
5. ?IF (you) share infected files with Support, make sure they are in password protected archives -marked with a password: INFECTED & make sure (you) tell support the password!?
6. In many cases, files cannot be decrypted without the private key that is known only to the 'attacker'.
7. Kaspersky never recommends paying the ransom. 

Thank you?
