There is WinPT (windows privacy tray) found here
http://www.winpt.org
it is a tray app for windows that will run the GPG functions
it is very easy to use in my estimation, and that's what my 
people use to decrypt cc numbers.  You basically select the
encrypted text, copy it to the clipboard, select decrypt
and enter the passphrase.  then the clip board is the actual
cc number and expiration date.

Im not real sure of other alternatives since PGP is gone...
