Why do I have to read and type curvy numbers before sending emails

I have an msn email and one day I suddenly was required to read a box of
distorted numbers and letters and type them before being allowed to send my
email. Can I disable that? It's so spam can't be sent from our computer,
but it is a home computer and I have yet to send any spam.

Nothing to do with Outlook - you are obviously accessing your email via a
web browser.

I think (but I don't use it) that the Outlook Connector will alert when
Hotmail wants to shove an intervening security page during login where the
user has to enter the characters shown in a CAPTCHA image. I don't know if
this add-on was designed to handle the CAPTCHA security prompt or if the
user has to use the webmail interface to their Hotmail account to login,
answer the security prompt to prove a human is using that account, and then
logout and then the add-on won't prompt until Hotmail decides to insert the
security page again.
