Agreed, reCAPTCHA is a legit and free Google service. That is what I would use.

I was thinking about allowing comments on one of my sites, speaking as a very prolific spammer this opens some serious questions on how to combat the kind of things I do.
I would probably disallow all proxies at server level, then recaptcha, recaptcha is beatable but not completely in the wild.

actually guys, what i mean is, would my website visitors register more easily using image captcha (Typing alphabets) or using the math captcha( 1+1 = 2), i tried out registering but it seems both seems fine. But getting worried some users don't know maths.

1. Math captcha can be easily broken, in result you may have tons of fake signups and site spammed to death.
2. Recaptcha is good on 1 hand, on another hand there are tools like Xevil that break recaptcha and if user have IP with poor reputation recaptcha wont let him solve captcha (user will solve recaptcha correctly, but recaptcha will say "try again" - endless loop.
Still recaptcha is best "out of box" solution. If you want something different take a look at funcaptcha.
