I have this program on my computer and it is continusouly coming up and attempting to dial up calls for no reason...I want to uninstall it, but I cannot find it on my computer! I've searched every file with the word phone in it but it's none of those...it's not in any obvious folders. If anyone knows what the name of the executable file is or where it is found by default I'd appreciate it greatly so I can get RID of it!

Hi stuh505
Have you tried running a full system scan with your Anti Virus ? Check it for updates and run a full scan,
You should also run a couple online scans,
Go Here BitDefender Scan Online
Run a scan with BitDefender , Be sure and Check Auto Clean. Make a note of anything it can't remove

Next
Go here Trend Micro - Free online virus Scan
Be sure and check Auto Clean before you do the scan. If it finds anything that it cannot clean have it delete it or make a note of the file location so you can delete it yourself.

Please go Here and unzip the newest version of HJT into a new dedicated folder,
Create a folder on the C: drive called C:\HJT.
You can do this by going to My Computer (Windows key+e) then double click on C: then right click and select New then Folder and name it hjt. Unzip HijackThis into this folder. Launch Hijack This, then press Scan, and press Save Log
This will generate a text file that will list all running processes, all applications that are loaded automatically when you start Windows, and more.
Most things are harmless and needed so don't make any changes.
post a log here please.

Let's see if it will show us anything

Hi stuh505
was thinking it was an evil dialer in which case an Anti Virus program could possibly pick it up,

May want to give Ad-aware and /or spybot a run, If you could post your HJT log it may or may not show us something,
