Opening screen has someone's picture on it?

[EY6]

I just ran the Bios hardware and all I got was it needed to be updated. 

For weeks now, when I wake my HP laptop up, there is a hazy something on its screen. Plus, some strangers picture on the upper left. No doubt I've been hacked in some mysterious way...

Thank you for offering your help.

My screen appears to have been subjected to some sort of invasion for lack of a better description. There is in fact 

 a film covering  my crystal screen.

It's a veil of some sort like looking into a toolie fog with stripes shearing from top to bottom. And in the upper left hand corner there is a round picture of two persons.  It's the oddest thing I 've ever seen.  

Crazier still, the screen will brighten back up after awhile.  I am using an HP Spectre Laptop, with 16.384 memory. 

Thanx Rainbow 23
