I have a big problem. I don't know why, but every day are created users in my site. It's not a normal registration because I have disabled the block for login/registration in my site. The users' status is locked and they are many.
What can I do?

Disabling block is pointless. You need to truly disable registration itself. Go to Administration » Configuration » People and under Who can register accounts? select Administrators only. If that's not enough, make sure you have all security updates installed.
Note: exact path to this setting may be a bit different in Drupal 6 or 8, but you should be able to find it easily enough.

if you do not need registration at all, test the /user/register url with an anonymous user, it must be denied, with @Molot answer it should be the good way– pico34Commented Sep 11, 2013 at 14:11

D6 path: admin/user/settings; D7 path: admin/config/people/accounts– pico34Commented Sep 11, 2013 at 14:15

1/user is enabled because is used from admin for access at the siete and edit it. In /user/register the access is denied. Thx very much– erarklinCommented Sep 11, 2013 at 14:18
It's probably spam. You should install a captcha module on the user registration form, like CAPTCHA module

Good idea if OP wants to keep user registration possible. I was under impression he does not. Well, it's his call ;) btw as far as I know traditional, math, re and blank field captchas are already pretty well useless against better spambots. Riddle and game ones are still OK.– MołotCommented Sep 11, 2013 at 14:02

/userpage? That's why disabling block can't help, probably.
