Do you mean (under D7) the setting under: Who can register accounts? I changed it to admin only.

You need to prevent anonymous users from creating accounts.
In Drupal 6 visit admin/user/settings In Drupal 7 visit admin/config/people/accounts
Alternatively, if you do wish to have anonymous users create accounts but prevent spam, you could add a captcha to the account creation form.
