Do the encrypted files carry the virus?

[Crownighter 0]

So I got infected with ransomware and the file format is .alka. As far as I've read there is no hope of decrypting them for now since it's a newer way of encrypting.
Furthermore my ID doesn't end on t1  .

I've uploaded some files on flash drive just in case there's a decryption for them one day, but I want to know - is there the danger that the files themselves might transmit the virus? I don't want plugging in the USB in a PC (after reinstall of OS) and then infecting it again. The files are a bunch of photos, nothing from the system drive.

This is new variant of STOP Ransomware. 

In the future, can only decrypt files that are encrypted using offline keys and have an offline ID, respectively.

If you suspect that the infection is still on your PC, you need to check Windows with antivirus tool and eliminate the threat.

The encrypted files themselves are not malicious and cannot infect another system. However, STOP Djvu comes with several other malware that could have dropped themselves to the flash drive theoretically. They would still have to be some sort of executables that you actually run on another computer in order to infect them.

Thanks, this is what I wanted to know.
