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

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?

Any antivirus has to check your computer, and to do that or is using
some kind of applet (Java or Activex) or needs an executable on the
host computer. Anyway, both methos need some kind of privilige admin
in order to execute so... I encourage you to insist to the people in
charge of maintaining the PCs because others solutions... I don't know
what more you can do... maybe try to crack the XP session login, but I
don't know any tool which you can use ¿?

So.. try to insist maintaining people... if your job depends on the
quality of the PCs, they should fix it asap...

Kind regards,
