How to stop unauthorized installation of programs on Windows 8.1?

-1

On my windows 8.1, everyday or other some programs are automatically installed. Eg. Deals100, CouponDunia etc. I want to enforce a password to install anything on my machine. Dont tell to create a user with minimum permissions as I always want administrator to be logged in.
