Like already noted by Ralf, if you're running apache on linux you must not fear
about the worms/viruses/... But just to be guarded against the "bad guys"
you can use the rewrite rules in

http://httpd.apache.org/docs/mod/mod_rewrite.html

to do neat stuff like redirecting client's request to a blackhole (if the
client is really a browser). Take a look at the doc. It really is a must
read for people using apache...
