Spam Bot Registration

Ever since I made the switch to 4.0 I have been getting a ton of spam bots registering. I was using NoSpam! on vb3.8 and it worked wonderfully, but it is not compatible with 4.0 and now I am receiving a dozen spam bots a day.

I set it so that I have to approve new members, but I've noticed it still shows them on the Members Lists and just simply keeps them from posting. I don't even get an email to approve them until they have confirmed their email address. I really don't want some of the X-Rated names showing up on my family friendly board.

What can I do to prevent bots from even getting past the registering stage?

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
