Why does msn require me to type in those character match the character in the picture?

Question

It say "please type the numbers and characters you see in the picture to conform that a person is trying to send email, rather than an automated program. This helps keep automated programs from misusing e-mail accounts, for example, to send large amounts of unsolicited email...."

what wrong with the website?did u encounter it also?

Answer 1

Yes I have encountered it. It is to prevent people from spaming millions of people at once. I don't mind doing this as once you get spammed, it never ends.

The site is not broken. They are just preventing you from getting usless info.
