Use blocking via htaccess for most active IPs. There is a lot of examples of such htaccess file over web.

I'm having the same problem. I just set up a new site and the noref_in hits are quite large. Are there any recommended settings in TABLE OF SPECIALIZED OUT SETTINGS to deal with this, or how to configure .htaccess?

bobsxxxmovies, check firstly incoming IPs for noref_in (take a look at detailed stats). If there are IPs with a lot of INs - ban'em using htaccess file.

Would it be better to just block a whole country, since most junk seems to be comming from china using htaccess? ie. China?

a tool to do that http://www.ip2location.com/blockvisitorsbycountry.aspx
