You can use Apache directives to control autoindexing, but if you are just 
trying to suppress it in selected directories the easiest way is to insert 
an index file (index.html, usually).  Apache will serve the index 
(sometimes called default) file rather than perform auto indexing. You can 
leave the file empty or put in any kind of content - it is just a regular 
HTML file.

You could put in a message like "Hacker, be gone!"  :-)
