recent comments module showing moderated comments

Hi. Thanks in advance. I did a search here and didn't find exactly what I was looking for.

We've been using ID for our blog comments on most of the domains we manage for about a year. Recenetly we noticed that the 'recent comments' module (I'm told this module is from ID, correct if wrong) is pulling in the moderated comments as well ass the live comments. This meanss that on our live site we get legit comments in this box on our front page as well as viagra spam, pron spam, and apparently spam for listings of SF gay clubs (No lie - lol).

Is there a way to keep the recent comments module but have it show ONLY the comments that are live? Apparently this was kind of embarassing for the higher-ups in our company.

Anyway, please feel free to ask for any information necessary that I need to include. Thanks again in advance.

Tim
