How effective is an antivirus programme?
That greatly varies, depending on the program. No program is perfect, but some are pretty good, others are nearly useless. Even a nearly useless program is better than none though. Just make sure it is genuine. A good antivirus program will generally catch at lease 85%-95% of the viruses and worms which find their way to your computer.
Some viruses, especially Trojan loaders and self-downloading viruses can slip through. They look safe when they are first loaded, then begin slowly downloading the dangerous portion. Once it is done, it starts doing it's damage.
Avira, for example, has stopped several viruses on my computer. It has let at least one through, however.
Avast also seem effective, perhaps more so than Avira, but it uses more system resources than most.
Some fairly good free antivirus programs are: Avira (home edition), AVG, and Avast (slow, but one of the best).
Some fairly good paid antivirus programs: Avira and McAfee

A trojan is a program that you bring into your system believing it's something else. A hidden code inside something else. As such, a trojan isn't dangerous at all.

MALWARE, SPYWARE, DECOMPRESSION BOMB, goggle.com, youareanidiot.org and other.
