Honestly - I'm surprised that the KVR board things I'm a robot/spammer now.
While writing a long PM to a fellow KVRian and longtime board member, I got to see this screen:
Honestly - what is going on?!
Overly difficult Captcha system on KVR now?

Lucky you - it asked me to select "sweets" out of a grid of 3-4 images, which I did initially wrong (since this Captcha system is stupid anyway). Then it asked me to select "Pancakes".
It only happened while writing PMs so far.
Profanity didn't seem to be the trigger. I "removed" all that in the PM, and I still got this.
EDIT:
Sadly, the link is gone now... so I can't post any further screenshots or links - but it did forward me to an official kvraudio.com/forum/somethingsomething/information page
I recently ran anti-spyware, used CCleaner, etc. Firefox is still on v42 (was a beta build, dunno why it doesn't update anymore)

May sound silly, but did you actually do a virus scan, like proposed in your screen? This really seems weird, i never had anything remotely like this, and i couldn't imagine why they do a captcha for writing PM's anyway, if you're a registered user, since years. I never had a forum which does that, usually only is for unregistered users.

I just edited my post. Did all that recently. Nothing serious found.
Sometimes, I even get he infamous Google Captcha prompt due to having a temp IP once in a while that is on a so called "list of suspicious network activities".... This usually takes 2 router reboots and then it's gone again.
Anyway - I just posted it, so the admins can figure this out.
Should I run into it again, I'll post another screenshot.
