What's with the security check?
August 12, 2016 at 11:36 am
Every now and then a security check asks me to prove I'm a human. Is that part of the site or is it some sort of a malware? Mobile version.

well, frankly, I've had some doubts about you too . . .
 The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

I don't know whether I should be flattered or offended but I'm asking seriously. Hours could pass before that thing appears but when it does it's really annoying.

Doubt its malware though.

It simply means your activity, especially your IP is suspicious. This can happen due to proxy, firewall, or even malware

There are no viruses or malware for Windows phone, so maybe the mobile operator does something that the forum doesn't like.

Can you post a screen shot? I was on staff for four years and I'm not even aware that this is a thing.

Never happened to me and I've here a while.
