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?

Just Re-install a new OS on all of them. get it from MSDN, win XP multi user and install it. This will clean up the computer itself. and then you can create new accounts yourself. I never use anti virus and instead just reformat my computer time to time.

You mean to say ur system is not allowing you to create/execute the
exe files?
If that's not the case you could try Hitman Pro : http://www.surfright.nl/en/hitmanpro
It's a could computing based anti malware.. The scanning is done in
the cloud.
