Hey There! 
With the new release of WordPress 2.5 its a good time to check in on your spam protection. Akismet is one of my personal favorites! Filter out spam and let all the nice comments and trackbacks come through. The most recent version of Akismet is 2.0. Take a look through your plugins page and see what version you currently have and if its less than 2.0 its time for a spam protection update.
Not using Akismet yet? You might be interested to see an experiment conducted by JustAddWater where they turned off their spam filter for a day. The results will amaze you!

Its a good idea to check your plugins page in your admin regularly to be sure all your plugins are up-to-date!
