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?

Are you not able to use a USB stick with a virus scanner on it?
Or a CD with a virus scanner on it?

You nowadays have U3 memory sticks that have the applications
installed to the stick to be used directly without any installation to
the target machine.

For instance:
http://www.clamwin.com/

Check for ClamWin Portable

You should be able to install that to a media or network drive and
then scan the machines.

Kind regards,

Daniel
