  I was getting an enormous amount of Spam (mostly Russian) from my WordPress site (originals.net). I removed the contact form, rather than put in a protection plug-in, because I did not really need it; . However, even though the contact form code has been deleted from my site, I still get the spam. Is there anything I can do?

  Thanks for any help.

  I see two issues:

  1) a Contact you form at the bottom of this page in the footer: http://originals.net/pp/?page_id=15

  2) See below for originals.net:
