I'm fully aware of the other discussions involving this topic elsewhere on this forum, that being said, I have not seen an answer anywhere and this seems to be a big issue.
I'm currently running VirtueMart 2.0.20b & Joomla 2.5.9 If you'd like information on my hosting configuration that can be provided given I'm not using any share-hosting alternatives I prefer to manage my own servers.
I use the VirtueMart registration page during the checkout process for customer account registration, I also have a menu item including the VirtueMart "User Edit Address" module for customer login / account registration.
I'm using Google reCAPTCHA on all other forms and obviously given the thousands of inquiries on this topic it's pretty evident that reCAPTCHA is NOT automatically integrated into this form, and I do not see any options under "VirtueMart Shopper Fields" for adding any CAPTCHA / Anti-Spam solutions whatsoever. I know of alternatives that are currently compatible with the VirtueMart Registration / Ask Question forms such as KEYCAPTCHA and I'm not happy with either of these alternatives.
If anybody has found a means of successfully integrating Google reCAPTCHA in this way I would appreciate any and all information.
Thank you in advance.

What bad things easycalccheckplus_v2.5-8 did for you?
BTW make life of your customers easy. Don't show them any captcha at all.
This plugin easycalccheckplus_v2.5-8 only works on the VM Ask a Question Form. Not the Registration Form.
The ToolTip description under the plugin settings when enabling 3rd party plugins "Virtuemart" states that it implements SpamCheck for the Ask a Question Form.
On top of that, it also looks slightly different from Google reCAPTCHA so it's slightly an aesthetics preference.
I'm simply trying to avoid spammers & bots making accounts on my website, almost all websites implement some form of anti-spam systems these days, I just assumed it was absolutely necessary to do the same.
Thank you for clarifying plugin functions.
There is only one place where it's possible to see so called spam registrations. Thus I don't think that such form of robot activity could be considered as spam in e-commerce.
