You can't really stop them, but you can make them less annoying and make cleaning up their mess more automated.
First enable Joomla!'s self activation. This will send them an email with a link that they must click to activate their account. Since 99.9% of them are using fake email addresses, they never get the email and the account is never activated. Messy, but not dangerous.
Next go to the System - Admin Tools plugin. Set the "Delete inactive users" field to "Only if they haven't activated their account" and then select a number of days grace to give your real registrants before they activate their account. So all the fakes will be deleted X days after they register.
