Anyway, go here: KVR: Audio Plug-in Database (Search Page) - VST, Audio Units, RTAS, DirectX, LADSPA, DSSI
Down in the Advanced Search, there's a ton of stuff you can check off to narrow your results, like type of plugin/effect/whatever. Make sure to check the box that will show only free plugins.
Thanks! I downloaded 3 different de-essers to try. And, luckily, the other plug-ins that come with the Sony program appear to work okay (so far). I'll just avoid the one that mucked everything up, reason unknown.

Do you have crashing issues with a new project in the new program?
I tested my new program today, without any audio effects, and it seems to be fine! What a relief! Not a single instance of the program freezing up in over 1 hour while recording around 10 tracks (trying to get a good one), and later editing some of them (cutting and pasting clips, and using and then deactivating effects to hear how they sound) while the song was going. So, the new program seems to be stable.

Thanks again for the help. Your suggestions and ideas gave me the motivation to learn more about how my computer works. And I'm glad it has more memory now.
