You can input whatever you want and captcha will accept it. The plugin also cannot
be deleted. I hope it was not a malware.

The developer for this plugin was very helpful in getting the plugin to work with
a custom form builder plugin and the plugin itself has great options to change the
captcha to better suit your needs and has helped cut back on spam. A great plugin
to use and really earns the name Flexible Captcha.

If you like this plugin then this isn’t an issue, but if you find no use for this
plugin after installing. This plugin can’t not be delete from the admin panel (Error
in uninstalling) or phpmyadmin. I was told the only way to possible delete this 
plugin is by ftp/sftp. Which I can’t/don’t have access to. So stay away from this
plugin.
