What scanner are you using?
It should give you the paths, and you can manually delete them, but be careful not to delete important files. If you are unsure, post the path, and we can let you know if it's safe to delete.

Although at 12 trojans, I would recommend you reformat your hard drive. Back up your computer, and install Windows fresh.

Ye he should format, as for the manually deleting... that won't work in 90% either.
