Server log: 'Morfeus Fucking Scanner'

I have been recently have several problems with posts getting spammed by spam bots, and while looking through my server log, I notice several occurrences of a User Agent called 'Morfeus Fucking Scanner' (apologies for the bad language).

After a little investigation I found a website which had come across a solution...

The solution provided was to add the following lines into your .htaccess file

RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} ^Morfeus
RewriteRule ^.*$ - [F]

I have already setup anti-spam functionality for the website but you can never be too careful

Thanks to Rick and Haans for a solution
