 * so i had this plugin installed for a pretty long time, and it ran to me like 
   a charm. Then recently when i decided to users registering on my sight, it was
   not the normal registering, its everyday, two uers would register , then it got
   over crowed to ten users registering a day…so i taught that something was wrong,
   then i tracked down the issue, and it was this plugin, no proper security measures
   are in place. You can’t even edit the php file properly via wordpress install.
 * really need to upgrade this. I was lucky for it to be just spam registering on
   the site….

 * Please post the steps of how the security can be broken or bypass the registration
   process?
