Did you enable the Askimet plugin? It isn't enabled by default, so try activating it, it helps

And congrats, if you have spam means people actually do visit your blog

yeah I would also advice activating the askimet plugin as it optimizes your comments where you can decide which to accept and which is not.

hey tell me is there any problem if we have bots in our sites?
do they spread virus or what is the threat from them
and why do you want to delete the comments

I think theres this Akismet plugin that takes care of comments. Although you can manage comments yourself.

But comments are just like spam in my blogs... Not at all related to the topic on which I am posting

Yes that will happen Nick..the same is the case in my blog too..I get some comments about promoting the PTC programs and how to increase traffic rather than providing the comments about the contents of my blog???

i think having comment on your blog is good whether it is a negative or positive comment. i think you will really have to show all kinds of comment. just be happy i guess that you have big traffic.
