Well that would be more along the lines of user rights than GPO...if you setup the users to only have limited access then they won't be able to install anything on any computer they logon as. There maybe some GPO's that help, but from what I've been learning it's not the way to go for that result.

InTheWayBoy in right.. you can do as much as you want with GPO but if the user has administrative privleges, stuff will still get installed. Within GPO you can do stuff like put permissions on the filesystem and registry keys, even disable windows installer, but... .... if the user has administrative privleges, this can and will be circumvented.

From what i know usually if you block the usual file types (.exe, msi, .vbs etc tec) that is securable as the user cannot install anything unless they have admin privledges and other file extensions can be blocked out too. But not to sure about spy/mal ware in this instance as thats normally an issue when browing websites (if you needed to know that is 
)
