With the persistence of today's spammers, we have added a security module to the article directory script.
The security module section allows administrators to create unlimited anti-spam security questions/answers that will be randomly selected when a site visitor registers or uses any of your web-site contact forms. We recommend changing these security questions on a regular basis plus adding as many as possible.

As with most of the article directory's options the choice to enable or disable these is available from within the security settings area
