Thank you, Harry. I am using WP Anti Spam now. Hopefully it will do the trick. ^_^

Try this plug in WP Anti Spam, you can block by many different ways. I used one that blocked bots that I have to find on one of my money sites but I have a few hundred so it will take time.

I found 2 Spam plug ins: Spam IP Blocker and WP Anti Spam. WP Anti Spam blocks spam by "comment","ip","name","email","url". I am hoping these will work well together.
Thank you everyone for your input and assistance. They were all very much appreciated.

Thank ELAP. I will give Livefyre a review.
Thank you Cheri but that was the setting and the unwanted posts still barged through. I had the settings on approval only so all comments had to first go through me before they could get posted but somehow this bot got through. I am looking for advanced features in combating spam bots.

Under settings - discussions you can control unwanted post. Uncheck anyone can post for instance.

Install Askimet. Its a WP plug in. You need a free account to get the key in order it to work. It blocks most of them.
