The infection is not decryptable and has been improved a few times, so newer versions are more advanced and cannot be easily cracked. Removal of CTB Locker is possible with anti-malware tools because the payload of this virus can be detected with AV tools.
However, this is not the same as file recovery or decryption. You need to avoid any other content and fake online researchers that offer decryption fo this ransomware. those can be scammers and criminals. Remove the virus and make sure to keep data backed to avoid losses like this.
