Can you please me know the steps or action to be taken to remove malware and Ransomware effected files.
I agree with this post.
Some malware will modify Windows registry keys in order to establish a position among the «Autoruns» which allows the malware is launched every time the operating system is launched.

The increase in the number of advanced persistent threats or APTs ransomware along with other rising vulnerabilities is a clear indicator for showing that hidden viruses are something that holds a significant amount of threat and needs to be monitored regularly. IT professionals of your organization need to be well prepared for the new forms of malware and ransomware that can be of great danger.
So, here I'm going to share 3 potential places or locations where APTs, ransomware and other malware can hide in your network-
Critical System Files
This is one of the most dangerous spots used by sophisticated malware to hide. In the past, many malware files were used for either replacing or altering the pre-existing critical system files and these were distinguished by a foreign language or metadata that is visible in the attribute certifiable act (ACT) of the signed files.
Windows Registry
Some malware can modify Windows Registry Keys for establishing themselves among the "autoruns" or even ensuring that malware is launched at the same time as that of the launch of an OS. Today, several malware modifies the registry key as a channel for ensuring long-termed stays in a network.
Temporary Folders
Operating systems contain a number of temporary folders. These files have become an inherent part of the OS. These temporary folders are by default in the writeable form to all the users for enabling Internet browsing, creating Excel spreadsheets and other activities. Due to the loosely-coupled security in these temporary folders, it has become commonplace for the malware and ransomware to hide themselves and execute themselves with immediate effect.
