Forum Protection plugin is the most powerful anti spam plugin ever created for the Joomla 1.5 / 1.7 & 2.5 forum components.

(Forum protection v1.6 is compatible only with Kunena forum component)

Forum Protection plugin scans the forum messages and blocks spam messages, according to your forum’s/plugin configurations, even before they are saved in the forum database.
