Hello, Is it possible to disable comments on profile for newbie users? There is a lot of spam on my forum. They are posting vi*gra etc.

Neither SMF 2.0 nor 2.1 has profile comments as a core feature. Which mod did you add? Maybe change the permissions it has (if that's a feature)?

And prevent spammers from registering in the first place. There are a number of methods recommended here.

When in doubt, control these permissions in the profile.

I have added question answers but still spammers can register.  If I install all these mods then will it solve the issue?
Bad Behavior
Forum Firewall

Stop Forum Spam
Stop Spammer

These are available at https://wiki.simplemachines.org/smf/Spam_-_my_forum_is_flooded_with_spam,_what_can_I_do

Several of those do the same thing,  so installing all is not needed.

However, if spammers get through your questions easily --- then you need to revise your questions and add to your question pool
