There's a weird, colored blob on your computer screen, but it's not something you can wipe off. You may see spots of yellow, magenta, or blue. Chances are, you need to tweak your monitor's hardware settings (sorry, this can't be fixed with software, and sometimes you just can't fix it without calling a professional). The easiest way to see if you have color distortion of any kind is by removing your Desktop image and setting the background color to white. Or, just open up a Notepad session and maximize the window. Some monitors will have dials (or on-screen controls) to help you tweak. If you see other 'interference,' consider moving your computer monitor away from any magnetic source (speakers, etc.).
