    Hi,

    I have WP-reCAPTCHA plugin installed. I had to deactivate it for a brief period (2 days) so someone could try to fix some problems on my site (wanted plugins deactivated to see if they were the issue).

    In that time I had over 80 spam comments. I have the plugin active again.
    But now my page views are gone through the roof (2060 views instead of a normal average 100-200).

    In the plugin 'statpressVisitor' I can even see the IP of a visitor spy that have loads of visits.

    Anything I can do to fix this and get my views back to normal?

    Cheers,
    Pa.
