Who are these strange referrers and how do I remove them?

Referrers show what sites lead traffic to your website, however spammers have recently taken advantage of this system to “trick” the Google Analytics code and show their sites within your top referrers. Unfortunately, blocking these bots is a very time consuming process which does very little except clean up your reports, which only you will see. The best solution is to wait them out – they’ll eventually go away.
