“I have a question for you. My girlfriend recently got a trojan horse generic 13 virus on her computer and we are having a hell of a time trying to get it off of there. AVG detects it but wont delete it off of her computer. Same with Mcaffee. what would you recommend for us to do in order to get this shit off her computer? thanks”

When a system is infected the best way to take care of it is to use what is called a live cd. A live cd is a disc that your computer boots off of and runs an operating system environment from instead of Windows. This link “Jiri’s - Virus and how to get rid of it using free Bootable Linux Antivirus CD” has the steps to create the cd and use it to scan for viruses while windows is dormant. The advantage of this is that the trojan is inactive while the virus scanner is trying to take care of it.
