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?

You could try Trend Micro's housecall online scan program, to find it go to www.trendmicro.com and enter in the search box (online scanner) and it will take you to the housecall page, see if that works

Try going to www.trendmicro.com in the search box type "on-line scanner" and that will take you to the free house-call link try that and see if it will work. Have you tried to reinstall the software? win xp also has a system restore in the systems tool section and from there you could posably go back in time when the system didnt have the virusis
let me know how it go's
