What exactly do you mean by splash screen?
Could it be Screen Saver?
Can you find the pictures in Windows Explorer/Pictures or My Pictures?
Visit the following link;

Or
The following will skip the Windows 7 splash screen when you boot your computer.
1. Hit the Windows Logo key + R to start the Windows run command.
2. Type "msconfig" (without the quotes) in the command box.
3. Go to the Boot tab.
4. Click the check box next to "No GUI Boot."
5. Click OK or Apply.
This method will save a little time when booting your system.

Hi and welcome to SevenForums,
Safe mode with networking,
Shut down your machine, Unplug-Hold the power button down for 30/45 seconds (Power Drain)
Power up and Tap the F8 key continuously until you see a black page with white text,
Use the down arrow key to toggle to safe mode with networking/ hit the enter key.
Login as usual

Review Jacee’s instructions to run Adwcleaner here post #7,
Ignore the title of the thread,
Instant Savings App
Screen shot of the download button to use for Adwcleaner
You can use these free tools to see if they find anything,
Manually Update them before running full scans,
Try not to use your computer while the scans are running, (one at a time of course).
Uncheck the box to Activate the Free trial from the final install options,
Also use the Custom scan option not the Threat scan,
Select the drive to scan usually C,
If your really infected check the box to scan for Rootkits = this scan option will take several hours to complete,
Never use your machine while scans are running for best results,
Please Do Not clean/ Delete or Remove Any detections before posting the scan results first before review especially Malwarebytes,
