    Possible virus after recovery using a start up disk

    I recently had to recover my mac and reinstall the os using a start up disk which I created via a website called osxdaily. Since then I have noticed graphic issues, (screen brightness changing and weird pixalated images). See attached image. Any guidance would be great as to how to resolve this.
