Just block the installation of new programs, and lock your browser's executable file using lock folders xp. hope this will help.

hmm well IE does have option to Stop all downloads...

Go to the Tools... Intenet Option... then go to Security Tab.... now click Custom Level for Internet Zone... scorle down to the download section... Disable all download.... OK... then restart IE
