I first removed sweetcaptcha completely and then googled it.
Turns out the adware popup is written in the code by the developers.
Sweetcaptcha is already removed from the WP repository and Sucuri wrote a blog about it

Anyway, I’m happy the problem was easily fixed.

Hi Roger,

I was googling for this since a site I manage also has the exact same problem.
Is your issue resolved?

The only plugin we use in common is sweetcaptcha. I’ll disable that plugin (probaly even remove it form server).
If I come across something else I’ll make a note of it here.

Kind regards, Linda

agreed. useless
Didn’t know there’s no pro version. In a way hilarious.
Anyway, on my way to find another plugin that is customizable

Yes it sure does need one.
Tried to incorporate it myself using basic php form handling but it seems to be overruled by js

For now I’ll go find another plugin that does what I want or is customizable.
