What Does This Mean

I have entered my name and email address to a source (not dangerous or anything) but the form is asking me to click on to ReCapta - (don't know what it means) anyway clicked on to it and it shows me various pics of everything. I just went on ahead and SEND and ignored these pictures.

^^^ in wrong site

Its usually to prove you are a real person and not a web crawler. You will be asked to enter a word or figures shown in the pic or click which pictures have a certain thing in...eg a cat.

I think it's a device where you have to type in distorted letters and numbers to prove you are a real person and not a robot.

right ok - thought that - it showed about 15 pictures - house, bananas, front of house blah and asked me to match them - there was no match. Jeez what don't they make things easier - it wasn't as if I was looking to buy a bloody diamond

[jennyjoan]

Jacky it did say "I am not a Robot" - that when I clicked on it brought all the pictures up. I've left it am too tired tonight.

I doubt it was an exact match or a bot might be able to do the task. It'd be something with two different bridges or houses or people or something I'd guess.

[Old_Geezer]

Should've ticked the box that said, "I am a Bot". Might have got a simpler question.

it notmally askes you to say for example how many of these pictures contains a fruit, reCAPTCHA, is a vairiation onm CAPTCHA which is Completely Automated Turing test to tell Computers and Humans Apart. Catchy huh? Anyway it's to stop bulk application by other computers.
