@kbar:
akismet usually does a decent job of preventing spam, you'll probably want to look up some more wordpress anti-spam plugins
im sorry but, i do not only want a method to clean the spams, but to prevent these garbage robots requesting to my host, high influence at my cpu and memory.
help… is there anyone…

Cloudflare is great. It gets rid of a lot of nasty traffic and makes your site faster.
Update everything, use cloudflare, and check for anti-spam plugins.
