I am having similar problems, but can't find which is line 167 - can you post the line that needs to be replaced?

Thanks

I have a similar problem, but cannot locate the "There is also a different domainname in the link in your post and the actual site. Check your hotlink protection in cPanel. " where is this controlled?

I too have had problems with this spammer, and seems to use the same MO and names on different sites, if you search, there are a number of options to block, Protector does well, combine it with
"do not allow user to change email" (prevents spammers from registering under one email, getting the activation email and then changing to a non-existant email),

never allow comments to be always approved with admin review,

and I save the protector logs, then look at IP addresses used most frequently, you will find IP from Czech republic, Uraguay, Russia, Korea to be the source of 99% of spam - I then just block those ranges entirely..net result seems to be virtual 100% elimination of posted/visible spam.

The spammers seem to be just posting URLs - my take is that they are trying to boost the Google rankings of certain sites by posting their URL on many other sites.

Norton's "Internet Security" blocks the "banner' feature (so I beleive, since it works fine when the site is viewed from compuers without it, or when it is turned off) - does anyone have a work around to foild this blocking- apparently it views banners as "pop-ups."
