Get a router and a decent firewall program. Also, have your antivirus program scan all incoming e-mail because there are several virus' that send themselves through your e-mail as was mentioned above.

A talented hacker can not only give you a virus through your IP address, but they can take over your computer, attach all kinds of spyware and background apps, mess with your OS, attain all banking info, etc. The trick is to not give anyone your IP address unless you know them. You can also call your ISP and ask for a new address.
