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.
