Avis Wants to Know...Human or Bot??

Today, upon starting a reservation via avis.com, I encountered a pop-up with a Press & Hold on-screen button to confirm I'm a human and not a bot.

Anyone receive anything similar today or recently?

Having recently taken my corporate IT education, I'm wary so I closed the avis.com browser until it is confirmed here on FT by us users (or by Avis lurker) that this is legit...

Thanks!

I just went through trying to make a reservation both logged in and not, and didn't get that pop-up. I was using Chrome and went to the last step, without clicking the last step to reserve the car.

It's legit. I get the same thing every time I visit the DigiKey website (electronics supplier) using Firefox. I have a browser add-on that DigiKey doesn't like- still haven't figured out which one it is yet.
