How easy would it be for someone to hack into your computer? What would they have to know about you to do this? Anyone know?

Depends.
I guess sometimes knowing your IP address is enough.
Sometimes they don't even have to know your IP address. They find it out by scanning for computers to hijack.

So how easy is it for someone to know my IP and what can I do to prevent this? Is the firewall enough?

Knowing your IP# isn't anything bad if you have made sure your computer is protected.
Use a firewall, anti-virus and make sure your operating system (Windows etc) is up-to-date with all the latest security fixes.
Also make sure you don't download any fishy programs or open e-mails that seem fishy.
Oh, and using
Ad-Aware
is also a good idea.

Vista is supposed to be more secure than XP, I haven't noticed a difference though.

Does anyone know of a decent antivirus program that doesn't slow down your computer? I have PCtools, but I swear my computer goes at a snail's pace when it's on. So I turn it off, which I know is bad, but I'm not exactly a patient person.
I've always been using Avast, it's great.

Yeah, I gave up on Norton ages ago. It never seemed to correctly identify anything and screwed up my computer constantly.
Norton used to be good now its awful. It really slows the computer down and removing it completely is impossible without hosing windows.
