Do you mean (under D7) the setting under: Who can register accounts?

I changed it to admin only.

Spam bots are probably finding the user URL (http://example.com/user) and the subsequent 'create account' link.

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.
