Think of your firewall as something that blocks incoming and outgoing traffic from your PC to the internet. It can stop hackers from breaking into your PC.
A good Antivirus program will stop computer viruses from infecting your computer. There are many forms of computer viruses from e-mail worms, to programs that will delete your hard drive and crash your computer.

To answer your question, a firewall is what is basically used to keep people and services from accessing your computer so that your files don't end up getting stolen, ect. Norton Antivirus is a program that will remove a virus if you happen to get one on your computer. A firewall can't remove a virus from you computer, but it may help prevent you from getting them.
