Uses the open-source Bad Behavior script to block potential spammers, not only from submitting forms, but from even seeing your website.
Generally, you can just upload and activate the extension to be protected from most comment, SAEF, & forum spam, as well as email address harvesters. There are settings you can tweak to fine-tune the way Bad Behavior works, but doing so is not necessary.
Optionally, it will also check requests against Project Honey Pot’s http:BL, a blacklist of known spammers. To use that feature, you will need to sign up for an API key.
The extension settings page also displays detailed logs for the past week (which is as long as Bad Behavior stores log data). This can be useful in resolving false-positives.
Installation
Download and unzip the extension. Upload the “vz_bad_behavior” folder to your /system/expression_engine/third_party/ folder. Finally, enable the extension in your control panel. There are some settings you can use to fine-tune the script, but generally it will work well out of the box.

Just installed this for a client having consistent comment spam on their site. Within minutes it had already caught a naughty little spammer. Excellent add-on!
