I've only dealt with this kind of virus in one instance, but in that experience, there was nothing I could do. I couldn't break the encryption, couldn't remove the virus, couldn't do anything. The guidance I got was to (in the future) back everything up and if it happens again to unplug and wipe that device, then restore from my last good backup.

Try to use Malwarebytes software against these Ransomware. It's free to download and has a very quick setup.
It´s now in his Beta version but on my systems, it´s running quite good.

It is useful to note that it only works against certain types of ransomware. – schroeder Nov 09 '16 at 19:50
