I don't know much about these things but one of my friends does so I've been in touch with him. Unfortunately the prognosis isn't great at all. I've also spent a little while searching for solutions myself but I haven't found anything positive at all - sorry. As above, paying seems to be the only option.
On a slightly more positive note, it does seem that once paid & decrypted you're no more likely to fall victim again than anyone else. That's just what I've read though...not a personal guarantee!

Keep an eye on

And maybe a few others, if it's not there now it may be at a later date. You have a choice of restoring a back up or waiting hoping there's a fix.

I had most of my pictures and important documents saved on various flash drives
I lost some recent P1 car underside pictures and a couple of word and excel documents
The pictures I lost I have managed to scour various forums I posted on claw most if not all back, so not that bad a hit....the text docs weren't too important
I didn't get to the point of reading how much they wanted I couldn't close down quick enough when I realised it was a bad boy Virus....not quick enough lol
I took my laptop to a couple of 'computer repair shops' who said the only remedy was to strip delete everything and start from scratch with a new windows download, that cost me £60 which I was happy to pay for a clean fresh machine
