    What he said! Akismet has been a life saver for me in terms of catching spam. It's the first thing I activate everytime I install a new WP blog.

    Try the math-comment plugin. Most spam come from robots and this is a simple plugin requesting the result of a small math equation (2+3=?). No more spam for you.
    And of course Akismet is a lifesaver!

    that's of course an option, but it can bring negative results. People who want to leave a comment, maybe don't want to register.
    For the next week keep track of your comments and see if they decrease. If they do, you know who is to blame! :)

    Akismet plugin will solve the problem and won't require your readers to register to comment. Also spamkarma is amazing. The above two plugins can solve your problems.

    I believe akismet is now installed with WP as standard it just needs setting up.

    Spamkarma can be found at http://unknowngenius.com/blog/wordpress/spam-karma/
    Although i haven't used it with the latest version of WP. If it fails, Use akismet. :)

    Hope that helps.

    But always watch out for regular comments in your spam filter as well!
