Hi Henry,

what is the column format of the csv? Is there already some column in
the data on which you can 'know' if the point is good or bad?

If that is the case, you can use the 'Add Delimited Text Layer'-plugin
to just load your dat in QGIS.
Then you use a 'Categorized Style' (see 'Layer
Properties'/Style-tab/...) and choose the column with your two states
good/bad.
Push button 'Classify' and optionally change color by clicking on the
colored dots in that dialog.

Both for using the 'Add Delimited Text Layer'-plugin and about
Categorized classification for styles, see documentation:
http://qgis.org/en/documentation/manuals.html

Hope this helps,
