 * My WP blog was attacked by spammers over the weekend. They’re still going after
   my blog and I cannot stop them. I’ve tried to disable comments but the spammers
   are still able to comment.
 * Under Options then General I have unchecked Anyone can register (next to Membership).
   Users must be registered and logged in to comment is checked.
 * Under Options then Discussion I have unchecked “Allow people to post comments
   on the article.”
 * Yet the spammers are still able to leave comments. How can I stop this?

 * Plugins:
    Akismet, Spam Karma 2 and Bad Behavior all together are very effective.
