Best way to get 3.7.2.1 forum back up and running?

I have a small VB 3.7.2.1 forum running on my site. For many years, I have not allow new users to register, as the SPAM registrations were overwhelming. Instead, I just allowed users to read the pre-existing posts. However, now I wish to get my forum fully back up and running. My questions:

1) Is 3.7.2.1 secure if I choose to stay with it? If so, is there a way to stop SPAM registrations?
2) I understand a lot of people don't like VB4 or VB5 and are staying with VB 3.8 - can I still get a license for it? My license expired long ago.
3) I don't want to spend a lot of time upgrading. I just want to have a forum that is as close to 3.7.2.1 as possible that is secure and has better SPAM registration blocking. What would you do?

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