Sound more like a hardware problem than a software/virus problem. It could be the screen "inverter" or the screen "backlight" neither is a user fixable problem. I had a similar problem with a used Dell - the only way I got it fixed was to take it to a specialized shop where they tried a number of inverters before they found one that worked.
