Hi,
This looks new ransomware because IDR, Nomoreransom and Malcore is unable to identify this ransomware. Please help. 

Here are some encrypted files:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1-CGugGR5qs1zDUy20mADhT4GgcUziqvV/view?usp=drivesdk
 
Here is ransomware note;
 
"Hello, as you can see, your files are encrypted, don't worry, they can be decrypted,
but only with the keys that are generated for your PC.
 
to get the keys you have to pay an amount of 1500 dollars in bitcoin, if you don't have bitcoin, you can very simply search on google, how to buy bitcoin or you can use the following sites:
www.paxful.com
https://bitcoin.org/en/exchanges
 
This is my address where you have to make the payment:
bc1qer6g9j7h8ee4ea8x6xl2058td4qan565k5jq06
 
After you have made the payment, contact me at this email address:
zonix@cock.li with this subject: ZONIX391921500-4932
 
 
After payment confirmation, I will send you the keys and decryptor to decrypt your files automatically.
You will also receive information on how to resolve your security issue
to avoid becoming a victim of ransomware again."

@Muhammad Ahmad,

Try to find a couple of files: clean and encrypted. If it's Xorist, then you might be able to get the key.
