If you want to filter the spam comments Askimet, WP-reCAPTCHA does a good jog (assuming you use wp).
If you want to remove the comment function you can either install a plugin or work directly inside your website.
OR
You could search on google. It can be your friend for 1 minute while you get the answer.

I appreciate your response and I have googled it and I have looked at a number of different plugins, but what I was wanting to know was what your experiences were and if you had used a plugin that you could recommend over others.
Thanks!

Akismet paired with just about any captcha should get rid of at least 90% of the spam comments. I solely use Askismet on some of my blogs and only a few spam comments a month make it through. I prefer not to use a captcha whenever possible because I personally HATE typing them in (especially reCaptcha). I don't like to deter legitimate people from commenting.

Manny, since you're looking for recommendations based on first-hand experiences, I'd recommend Akismet just like everyone else. I don't partner any other third-party plugin with Akismet. For over three years, I think it has overlooked only 3 or 4 spam comments so far. I'm happy with it.
Prior to activating Akismet, I was getting nearly 200 to 300 spam comments every month.
On Akismet's dashboard, you'll find the month-on-month details of how many spam (and ham) comments it got.
Mine shows 99.37% accuracy rate. Who am I to complain for a free plugin?

I use Askimet in conjunction with AVH First Defense Against Spam Plugin, and Growmap Anti Spambot Plugin. This along with this HTAccess hack:
Replace "yourdomain.com" above with yours.
Using those methods, you'll see no spam.
Code:
# Protect from spam bots<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_METHOD} POST
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} .wp-comments-post\.php*
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !.yourdomain.com.* [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} ^$
RewriteRule (.*) ^http://%{REMOTE_ADDR}/$ [R=301,L]
</IfModule>Replace "yourdomain.com" above with yours.
Using those methods, you'll see no spam.

Hi,
I think 'Akismat' would solve the prob.
