Re: Where are these bot signups coming from?
I had faced the same problem with version 4.1.x. Even after enable the captcha I was getting the bots signup. I guess spammers successfully generated the some kind of script so that they can easily signup.
When I upgraded my store to 4.5.4 I never received any junk customer registration. I highly recommend to upgrade your store to latest version.
If you can't upgrade your store then use http://www.google.com/recaptcha on signup page instaed of x-cart's default captcha system. This will improve the situation.
