My kids called me and told that they were getting the PSW.x-Vir balloons. Have run HJT and have posted it below. Any help on the next steps would be appreciated

If you need to post a Hijack This look please do so.
The please download SmitFraudFix from this link http://siri.urz.free.fr/Fix/Smitfra... Then extract the contents to your desktop. !!!! Only run option #1 as runing the other options on an uninfected computer will damage the desktop.!!!! Open the "SmitfraudFix" folder and double-click "smitfraudfix.cmd" Select option #1 - Search by typing 1 and press "Enter"; a text file will appear, which lists infected files (if present). Please copy/paste the content of that report into your next reply. Note : process.exe is detected by some antivirus programs (AntiVir, Dr.Web, Kaspersky) as a "RiskTool"; it is not a virus, but a program used to stop system processes. Antivirus programs cannot distinguish between "good" and "malicious" use of such programs, therefore they may alert the user.
