Why Viao Laptop screen goes berserk?

Help! Please! I initially thought I had the BSOD  but launched in repair mode and logged on perfectly.   Looked at photos/documents then clicked on stuff I had downloaded (BBC iplayer to be exact) then McAfee popped up with an 'adware' problem but before I could click on 'Remove' the screen went funny and filled with fast moving lines mostly going across.  I  switched off the wifi router and was able to work offline with no problem.  Soon as I switched the router back on to go online, the same thing happens.  My laptop is a few years old now (2gb ram 200gb HDD) but top of the range at the time.  It is also running very, very slow.

Ran a McAfee scan it came with 2 problems but they were quarantined.

Do not know if it is a virus related problem or hardware problem?  Just don't know what it is but it still works fine off line albeit very slow.

Can some one please help?
