I am assuming that you are using vb4.x.x

Install this mod:-

About Spam-O-Matic 2.0:
Spam-O-Matic 2.0 is a spam firewall for your vBulletin Forums version 4.x and later. It prevents known spammers from registering on your forums. If they can't register, they can't spam! This data comes from the stopforumspam.com spammer database.

It also does a ton of other cool stuff like moderating posts automatically if the post is found in the Akismet database, or if it contains words on your "Bad Words" keyword list.

This is without a doubt, one of the most important mods that you will be using on your forum.

This should/does stop the spammers registering in the first place.

Don't forget to obtain the 2 "keys" (they are free), from Akismet & Stopforumspam.

Just in case you do not have a vBulletin.org license.
