Effect is the result something has on something else. It can be good or bad. However affect means to have a bad result on something. In other words, if something affects you, it has a bad effect on you.

Normally "effect" is a noun, a result of some cause.
When used as a verb, it means "to bring about".
Normally "affect" is a verb, meaning to change in some way.
When used as a noun, it refers to a psychological feeling of being changed--I think. As a noun, it's pronounced "AH-fect". The other three are pronounced pretty much the same (uh-FECT).
