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 think you maybe need the symantec antivirus client as a corporation
client. see the homepage of symantec Cop.

BTW, in this group, I recommend strongly to install a Linux distraction .

If you can still run .exe file. But
only cannot run any setup/installer,
you may try the clamav virus scanner
from portableapps(portableapps.com).
