If the ransomeware has already encrypted the
computer, the answer is no. No other product
promises to remove the encryption either.
The bad guys go to a lot of trouble to
select something that can't be cracked.

In one case, the Good Guys managed to take
down the C&C server, and the recovery keys
were still on the server. Affected people
could contact someone, and get the key and
decrypt their stuff. So there was one early
success story. C&C is now distributed a lot
better, so many of the naive details of the
first efforts have been corrected.

If the ransomware hasn't "hit" yet, hasn't done
its thing, sure, something could remove it.
But once the damage is done, only a backup
can restore your files. While you can send
your Bitcoins to the bad guys, you don't
really know what will happen to the files.
No guarantees.
