Just use forum permissions like you normally would.

would this stop the threads showing up on the new posts bit ? for members ?

Only if you exlude the forums in question from being displayed. This all depends on what type of Last X posts you are using.

If they don't have permission to access the forum in which the threads are located, then these threads will also not show on searches.
