Why are some plugins permitted to install themselves without my knowledge?

I hadn't checked me plugins for a month or more, and when I did I found 2 copies of Microsoft DRM version 9.0.0.453, 2types of Real Player plugins, a Windows Media Player DLL, and Windows Presentation Foundation plugins all installed and active. All were evidently installed automatically, without my knowledge. Is there a way I can prevent this?

This type of thing has happened in the past, but never were there so many.

Prior to this one copy of MS DRM and a few of the others were already installed but disabled. All were enabled when I found them today, but not because I enabled them.
