First, if you hack each other, then it's your fault for not updating your system, and anyhow almost no-one can hack you withen seconds, or that he'll send you a virus, It's like having someone's phone number.. IP address are like phone numbers. They can't find out where you live, maybe they'll go search ARIN's IP database, but that'll only tell them where the IP is registered to, example my IP address is registered in "Sympatico", my ISP's name.
And no, you can't block it, because you have to tell the server your IP address so it can send back the response. Only way is probably to use a proxy server.
