Spambot invasion of the wiki

Eight or ten spambots created accounts on the wiki last night and started throwing up ads for really bad videos, which were probably links to malware, for all I know. Anyone know of countermeasures? Like something we can do during account creation to try to screen out bots?

This is highly obvious but is a sufficiently strong CAPTCHA enabled?

Apparently not. I'm guessing it's something that Mike would have to install, but it's getting annoying. Had to deal with three more this morning.
