germs.ffx would be a plugin. you dont import plugins that way, you drag and drop them in the AAE plugins folder (i forget the exact extension but u'll see it). hope that helped you out.

you have to coppy that effect into the preset folder on your HDD. If you're importing a background or something it needs to be an image file (jpeg, png etc)

make sure its the right effects folder (there are 2) and you need to restart after effects once you drag them in. and are you looking for it in the right place once you open AAE?
