How to restrict users from deleting things from event viewer

We have Win 7 pc's running in the environment and the DC's are server 2008 R2..
How can I via  GPO stop users from deleting things in the event viewer and from deleting the log files for them?

Are the users part of the local Administrators or Users group?

They are part of the users group and local administrator group
Demote them and make them part of the local Users group only. Start with a few of them and if there aren't any issues apply same solution to all of them.
Users shouldn't be part of the local Administrators group. For this and MANY other reasons.

Sorry there not part of the local administrators group and I need to make this change for all the users via a GPO so we don't have to visit each pc...
