Internet relay chat. Kind of like MSN. Scroll to the bottom of the dropdown box above and see.

You connect to a certain server, which hosts the convo instead of you installing a service like MSN.

youre prolly better off downloading mIRC instead of using the java chat from here, but either way you should have no problem

... you can't be hacked through IRC (well, Im sure you can, but its 1 in a million). Hackers hang out on IRC though.
