i hav de same prob
try "1st security agent" (u can restrict using this )
even "universal sheild" is a good protection soft

I don't know about this but is it not possible to you create guest accounts for them and define policies?

i got an idea,
maybe u can install the program, copy the folder(the install directly, like C:/program file/BLAH BLAH) and then uninstall it,
then try to run the executable,
then u can use any encrypter to hide it
Hope This Helps

Arre yaar use Regedit and then goto Hkey_Local_Machine >>Software >>Microsoft>>Windows>>Current Version>>Uninstall and then click on the "+" icon on it to reveal further "blah blah" type names, from there click on each sub-folder and select the name of the software from the right hand side and when you have found what you have to hide then delete the sub-Key, and there's it ! Voila ! But please note that it does not affect the software rather only hides it from Add or Remove Programs, you can always uninstall it by going to the Program Files folder and executing the uninstaller of that software
