Hi Secom-NY,
It can capture *known* cryptolockers in the 'wild' and because of the narture of the cryptolockers virus, it often change its signature to avoid being caught by the AV software. The best method to prevent this from spreading again is to educate users not to open any unknown attachment/files and their files will be protected.
However once the files are 'infected' (encryption with a secret key), all AV software cannot undo it. That's why a good backup is a must so you can restore the files yourself without paying them to unencrypt your files.
Paying them will only encourage them to spread this even further.
