Wordpress plugin needed

    OK I have been getting on average around 100 spam comments on my website these past few weeks. People spaming about buying UGG boots, whatever those are. I was wondering if there was any plug-ins that would automatically kill any post that was the phrase "ugg boots". I have to approve any comments on my site but it is getting really old having to sort through them all and seeing nothing but boot adds. I know this is a long shot, but thought I would ask. Otherwise I will simply leave my settings as is and mark each one as spam.

    Thank you for your thoughts. I will keep deleting them and hope they slow down. I now know what ugg boots are at least. lol I asked someone else. If the spam continues after a few weeks I will look into that link you posted. Thank you greatly again for the feedback.

    Are you not using the Akismet plugin? That should take care of all the spam.

    Akismet can not stop ugg bots.
    I was spammed by ugg bots every days and skip the akismet.

    You can install a recaptcha plugin or math question plugin to reduce spams. There is a option in wordpress setting->Discussion->Comment Backlist to add a phrase you need to blacklist.

    I would recommend handling it with your htaccess file. I'm not sure if I can put a url here, by you can easily find instructions for the code if you write in Google: wordpress htaccess security.
    Good luck
