Freeware Recommendations

Below are some freeware applications I've found to be fun, useful, and (as far as I can tell) free of malware.

Virtual Hypnotist: Hypnotize yourself in the privacy of your own home with preloaded scripts, scripts you customize or write yourself, or even audio files. Visit my other site, Ono Udont's Virtual Hypnotist Files, for a tutorial and some sessions I've created.

TrueCrypt: This is one of several freeware programs that lets you hide sensitive files in password-protected subdirectories. It's not the easiest program to use (You will need the user's manual at first), but it's the only one I've found that doesn't impose size limits on the subdirectories you create. Also, it's very stable and plays well with other programs.

Audacity: Audio editor and recorder, useful for making sound files to go along with Virtual Hypnotist sessions.

Any Video Converter: Converts videos to almost any format you need, and also lets you download videos directly from YouTube. If you need to download the video from somewhere other than YouTube, try using Any Video Converter in conjunction with my next recommendation.

DownloadHelper: Download many different kinds of files, including videos, from most sites. I recommend using DownloadHelper in conjunction with Any Video Converter because even though DownloadHelper itself can convert files after it downloads them, it puts a watermark on them. Any Video Converter doesn't leave a watermark, so you're better off downloading the file with DownloadHelper and then converting it with Any Video Converter.
