Akismet is a pre-installed (already in Wordpress upon installation) wordpress plugin. Recently, they have an updated version of it. It is a plugin that filters spam messages from the comments on your blog.

Steps in using this plugin:

Log-in to your wordpress account.
Go to Plugins
Look for Akismet (usually it is the top one). Click Activate
Once the plugin has been activated, you will be instructed to put your Wordpress API (click). If you have no account on wordpress.com, you have to create one.
Log-in to your wordpress.com account >> click My Account >> My Profile. You will then see your Wordpress API, just copy it and paste it on Akismet Configuration.
Click “Update Option.”
DONE
