Sounds like you may have search-highlighting enabled and then 
searched for something like "." that matches every character.  To 
temporarily disable search-highlighting use

   :noh

or search for something else:

   /xyzzy

To disable it for your entire session, use

   :set nohls

If you don't like it at all, you can disable it in your 
vimrc...either remove a line that reads

   set hls

or add one that reads

   set nohls

(or "hlsearch"/"nohlsearch").

Or if it's just the green you dislike, you can change it or your 
color-scheme.
