Sam, A user friendly alternative to CloudFogger will be Boxcryptor ( https://www.boxcryptor.com/).
My guess is that all of them are based upon EncFS anyway. You can use a version of it meant for Windows that I have personally tried out on Windows and used it on a day-to-day basis. That said, please test it out with a couple of files that you have original unencrypted copies of until you are confident with it. Here you go (source: http://gitorious.org/encfs4win) - http://members.ferrara.linux.it/freddy77/encfs.html I will be happy to guide you (or your organisation) through step-by-step if required via Skype. Just let me know when. You may have to deal with my timezone though (I like in UTC+8).
