I have already updated and run AVG free, AD Aware,Spywareblaster and Spybot Search and Destroy. It is connected to a program called WinAce that I downloaded but have subsequently uninstalled and deleted but AVG can still see it but looks like it can't do anything about it. Any help would be appreciated. THANKS

Boot your Computer in safe mode, and the run the scanner again. Also, try and find the program called HiJackThis. It will allow you to remove "bad" registry edits manually.
Becareful though.

Its very simple
first just find out the place were that Trojan Horse is placed
most probalbily it will be inside System32 folder(C:window/system32)
Make sure where it is actually placed
Then restart ur machine by holding down F5 key so that u can see a number of booting choice
from that just Select Safemode
enter in to the window using safemode and delete the files(Trojen horse) from the directory.
Then if u can just Run the Antivirus again. sometime the anti virus won't run on safe mode if it is like that don't worry just restart the machine in normal mode and Run the anti virus program again.
if the virus still exist the download the Nortan Antivirus and do the process again as i said

AVG is a good virus program but does not pick up on a lot of Trojans, try one of the two links below - they are good & free.
Remember if Trojan is in system restore then you need to turn off system restore, re-boot, then turn system restore back on.

I have always found norton to be pretty good..if you follow another suggestion and start moving round things in the registry things may go pear shaped....If that happens get a little prog called pconpoint this puts everything back where it should be...within reason of course
