I've got 5 PCs that I'm trying to use to train disadvantaged young
people. The problem is they are riddled with viruses and a firewall
blocks me from updating them. The people in charge of maintaining the
PCs won't fix them or give me the admin password (Win XP) to let me
install a new or updated antivirus the centre is being shut down in a
few months.
If they were working, I could still do a lot with them, so I've been
looking for a good online virus scan - but they all try to download a
little .exe onto your PC first, and the settings on the PCs won't
allow that.
Create a boot CD, and change the Administrator password. Then install
AVG etc. as you normally would. Your admins are complete and utter
idiots. You could be running a 5 computer botnet that's producing a
million pieces of spam a day. Knowing that your Net-connected computers
are infected and still refusing to fix them crosses the line from lazy
to incompetent.
