mod_autoindex is the culprit, but what you want is to 
*not* include the "Indexes" option for that directory. 

The best way to do this is to deny it in the root 
directory, and add it in on a case by case 
(and directory by directory) basis

Example:

<Directory />
  Options None
  AllowOverride None
</Directory>

<Directory "/home/www/example.com">
  Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews ExecCGI
  AllowOverride None
  Order allow,deny
  Allow from all
  Deny from 216.3.21.36
  Deny from 207.228.84.99
</Directory>

Remember to do use "apachectl graceful" before testing 
the change.
