I am not sure how good this kind of spam protection is. I think it would be quite simple to get the 7 + 4 out of the html code and then actually calculate and post the result to your page.

I think spam protection using an image with characters and numbers is more secure. There is a really simple tutorial which is easy to follow at thie link.

Hope it will help

why can't you use the same captcha which you already used for registration?
