Please, do not consider paying the ransom! There's no guarantee that criminals will provide you a necessary key for file decryption. First of all, you have to remove Cryptolocker from your computer's system. For doing it, you will need a strong and reliable malware removal tool. If you don't use any security program, we recommend installing one of these: FortectIntego, SpyHunter 5Combo Cleaner or Malwarebytes. However, ransomware might block access to anti-malware programs, so you have to reboot your PC to Safe Mode with Networking. Then, follow the steps presented in the article CryptoLocker. How to Remove?.
After successful virus elimination, you can try to recover files from backups or use file decryption tools such as Photorec or R-Studio. Unfortunately, there's no particular tool created for recovering files encrypted by Cryptolocker.
