Where can I find an online anti-virus that doesn't install on your PC?

[hertzbosshart28041]

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.

Suggestions? Solutions? Links?

I'd try ClamWin Portable http://portableapps.com/apps/utilities/clamwin_portable
Put it on a USB drive (or burn on CD) and run & update it on a clean
machine with Internet access, then run on the infected machines.

Something really good to check it is the Trinity rescue kit. Its a iso download that is a self  bootable live linux disc with a few different virus scanners the website even explains in detail how to use it. http://trinityhome.org/Home/index.php?wpid=1&front_id=12   It will download files temporarily to the ram drive it creates for scanning. It can scan with F-prot, avg, bit defender. The best part is its a command line scanner it is a bit more difficult to work with but its faster. You can also look for a self bootable version of kaspersky and i believe there is even a bootable version of antivir.

I'd look into the free, online scan by ESET's Nod32 here:

For my money and if you have to run windows Nod32 is up there with the
best.
