It's basically people spamming up your comment board with all sorts of porn links in which contain numerous viruses. There is one way to combat this problem, edit the preferences for your blog.

First thing's first, you're going to have to prevent people from anonymously commenting. Meaning they have to be a registered member in order to leave a comment. That should get rid of most of the spammers but not completely. Keep in mind there are spammers that do sign up as members. Luckily, it's not as much as it is on various sites such as Asian Avenue and Migente. Basically you have the power to filter the comments to your blogs. That's the one thing I'm grateful for is being able to delete comments on a blog.

For any registered members that spam, you can always report the people to the webmasters and the moderators. They can ban the person's IP address. That should help you deal with spamming in your blog's comments. Taking these measures will help a lot in preventing spam.

Which is good for you because you can keep track without having to backtrack through previous entries.
