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?

I'm no PC expert, but am glad to see the list used for something other
than spam, of late!

Good luck with the youth project -- my first take would be to use some
more gentle persuasion on the sysadmins in charge of those machines --
they're really producing a bottleneck for some potential good work!

Be well,
