How Secure is Limited Account on XP

wazza

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.

you can still get viruses off websites. they install by them selfs. but your anti virus should catch them.

you can safeguard by setting the security and privacy levels to high on your browser.
true viruses install by themselves without you even knowing
