Re: [Redcar] Where can I find an online anti-virus that doesn't install on your PC?

This is not really what this discussion is meant for, however I suggest having them reformatted if they are that bad.

I've got 5 PCs that I'm trying to use to train disadvantaged young

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?

This is actually quite interesting. The original message is from a
spammer, but it is quite hard to tell. (Aaron, I initially thought you
were a spammer too, because of your email address, just so you know :))

If it follows the pattern on another mailing list I subscribe to, they
will follow up with "reply" that "suggests" an anti-virus software.

lol yeah its just an email address I made as a kid. This email was in my spam actually, but i unmarked it to be sure that I didnt get all the ones from redcar in there. I thought it might be a spammer, but it was hard to tell.
