The most important thing is what another member mentioned above, to disallow browsing directories which are not for users/visitors and bots.

You can add an .htaccess file in each directory which doesn't have one, and then add in all of them the following rule:

Code:
Options -Indexes
Thats it. If you need some help to defend yourself from spammers, we got some stuff done already. If you need help there, I guess we are already experts. Or, let say I hope.
