How Secure is Limited Account on XP

Have XP home on my PC. Have created a separate account for my 11 year old daughter. It is a limited account which prevents her from downloading software etc. Don't fancy the idea of her downloading any virus/trojans by mistake.

Since the limited account will prevent her from downloading software is it possible for virus/trojan to be downloaded?

I run zonealarm, AVG, adaware, spybot, spywareguard and spyblaster.
Problem with having access to internet is that i get asked by many to solve their problems :( Well at least i learn something on the way :D
