How to avoid wordpress spam without spending anything

I would like to know how to avoid the amount of spam that comes in wordpress comments, either through some plugin (free of preference) or through wordpress configuration.

ALTERNATIVES

Through Plugin: Spam Comments Cleaner: link

Through PhpMyAdmin:

You can do this in PhpMyAdmin with a query:

DELETE from wp_comments WHERE comment_approved =  '0'
DELETE from wp_comments WHERE comment_approved =  '1'
DELETE from wp_comments WHERE comment_approved = 'spam'
DELETE from wp_comments WHERE comment_approved = 'trash'

This will delete all approved comments - see if this is the current wp_ prefix of the database table and remember to backup your database first.
