I have the removal tool, everything is setup, works great, just one problem,
I have malicious software on my computer it won't remove, I cannot find it,
have searched extensively throughout my computer, it is no where to be found.
Searched the given address for it and cannot get to it, please any
suggestions would be appreciated.

If you cannot find it, how do you know it is there?
 
Was thinking that myself :-)

I take it by having 'Tried all else' you have ran an anti-spyware program
such as Defender (Included with Vista) Spybot or Ad-Aware or similar?

Trend Micro PC - cillin Internet Security 14! It detects but will not REMOVE
it, it says it can't that I need to go in and remove them myself, as I stated
earlier I cannot get to it.
 
Defender, AVG, Trend, nothing iwll get it, Trend is the only one that even
finds it! I'm downloading the Avast now, thanks all so much, I'm hoping to
have this junk off before too long.
 
OK. I'll bite. What is the name of the malicious software that you cannot find and remove.

Assuming u actually have malware on your PC, i suggest u try
Trojanhunter. I used it earlier this year to remove some malware that
would have required a reformat, had i not come across Trojanhunter. A
number of on line postings attested to the fact that TrojanHunter was
the only option for removing that particularly nasty item. It worked
like a charm! Trojanhunter is free to use for 15 days, IIRC. I hope I
never need to use it again, though. :) Good luck.

Dialer_Coulomb, I'm not very familiar with spyware ,adware adn the like
becasue up until this my defender and AVGT kept them out, don't understand
how it got through but Avast didnt' pick it up. Real Time Spyware Protection
in Trend caught it. Is it particularly bad or stubborn? I don't know if
anyone does let me know, this is all I can find about it - This dialer
creates dial-up settings without a user's permission or intervention. I cna
get to the file it's supposedly in but it's not there, no matter what mode
but REal Time keeps throwing it up and I can't seem to get it off. Will it
not hurt?

It could be a false alarm. Most malware detectors produce a certain number
of false alarms.

Until you tell us some details, we aren't going to be able to offer any
further help.
