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?

this is the third google group that I've seen this message on from three different e-mail accounts.  I can only assume that it's a benign looking mail to get the group manager to approve membership and then they can spam us or something.

Can the group manager (vero?) please block this user unless the originator can tell us that this is a bona fide message to this group.

thanks

Hi all,

The member's been reported for abuse, and joining the group is now
moderated
(especially seeing as we're not intending to organise another SMC just
yet)
so apologies for this spammy message, and it shouldn't happen again!
Thanks

Vero
