Hi,

The recommended way is to contact the webmasters of these sites and have your links removed. If that fails, then the last resort is to use the Google Disavow tool. This topic has been discussed extensively in the posts below:

Hope this helps.

Also remember that you may find easy also contacting webmasters of the spammy websites (if for example you have a website pointing links from many pages to you), asking to remove those links.. the disavow tools is the quickest way but it shouldnt be used only after trying other ways.

I think the answer depends on why you are wanting them gone.  If you have been given a manual penalty and have a warning message in your Webmaster Tools then you need to try to contact each of these sites to get them removed and then disavow the rest.  If you don't have a manual penalty and are trying to avoid an algorithmic issue like Penguin then disavowing these is enough.

For those urls you showed above, none of them resolve so they probably don't need to be dealt with.

If you have a bunch of spam links that are not created by you then other than disavowing them you really shouldn't have to worry about them.  Check out this webmaster hangout:
