It sounds like it's infected with "The Wife" virus.

If so you only have two options. Total reboot or boot it out the door and hope its replacement is an improvement.

 

Screenshot, Loosie?

 

My picture showed up on slide show. No help from anyone. You know if you type

a certain subject google types ahead. Google must think i like that picture.

 

I have learned to turn off, "suggestions" in my browser and cell phone. Still, I get mind numbingly stupid results. Typing, "I am waiting..." and the cell phone suddenly says, "I am waiting litany". Or IRF510 datasheet gets, "Find the best IRF510s at Walmart.com".

 

Silly, everyone knows a IRF510 is a Radio Shack part.

 

.... and each new version of the OS seems to be more 'helpful' by taking away user choice. It's only a matter of time before the OS won't let you load any software: you'll just have to put up with whatever the OEM thinks Joe Bloggs needs and comes ready-installed.

That happen to me also. I did by accident insert a coin in the SD card slot opening. And out off the blue I could watch two girls do rather spicy things with a a bowl of whipped cream and...er well never mind. After a some time (way to short) some kind of shutter went down. And I had to get back to my rather boring documentation work in Word.

It's a type of automated screen saver, it simply scrolls through your Pictures folder and displays any images you have saved in there.
