I think there is an option to delete them all. If none, then all you can do is just delete them one by one. You will notice it is a spam from its content itself. Most are displaying links for you to visit a site.

I run several WordPress blogs and on all of them I have Akismet plugin enabled. It's made by developers of WordPress themselves and it usually comes already installed with the default WordPress installation. All you need to do is activate by signing up for a key. I get spam comments but Akismet is very good at catching them and none of those spammy comments appear on my site where they are visible by the public.
I also have the settings set that every comment is held for moderation and that the comment author must have a previously published comment in order to be approved.
