What is google bot guard anti spam?

I am working on a wordpress website that has been developed by someone else. The website faced serious problems during last few days. After I inspected the Http requests in the developer tools found lots of strange javascript files being requested from other hosts. The strangest requests are those which are hosted on google.com as you can see in the image below:

enter image description here

The first line of the response is a comment which says "If you are interested contact this base64 encoded string", which after decoding the string it is this email address: [email protected]. Does anyone knows what is this script and if it is not from google, how it is hosted on google.com?

This script is a component of Google reCAPTCHA, an anti-spam tool. It is probably being used on a comment or contact form on your site.
