     This is an inspiration from various websites to prevent our site from bots. This program displays an image of an animal/person/things and the user should choose the correct choice from the drop-down below. If the user is right, he can proceed. Else he can be forbidden. This is just a simple implementation. Let me know your thoughts.

Note: Due to the size or complexity of this submission, the author has submitted it as a .zip file to shorten your download time. Afterdownloading it, you will need a program like Winzip to decompress it.Virus note:All files are scanned once-a-day by Planet Source Code for viruses, but new viruses come out every day, so no prevention program can catch 100% of them. For your own safety, please:
  1. Re-scan downloaded files using your personal virus checker before using it.
  2. NEVER, EVER run compiled files (.exe's, .ocx's, .dll's etc.)--only run source code.

If you don't have a virus scanner, you can get one at many places on the net including:McAfee.com

A for effort, but any bot accessing this site could just read the img src= and will be able to see the filename, such as "lion.jpg", which makes your validator useless.
