None of the examples is correct, but the third one uses the right preposition ( from ). Assuming that your example is supposed to be a question, the correct form is as follows: How do I stop him from cheating again?

It doesn't say anywhere that this is a question. In case of a book title, it would be OK as it is, wouldn't it?

Jacky56LinI don't know how to stop him from (not) coming tomorrow.
I recommend that you stick to this pattern for stop, keep, and prevent.

The form with the negative not is much less used.

Janet was unable to keep the child from falling.
We are trying to prevent the disease from spreading.

Hello,
We are talking about grammar here, meaning how to construct sentences grammatically, not book titles. So the previous comments with corrections are true. By the way " How, what where and when ..." already implies a question.
