I had the same problem on my older machine. It was down to IIS (Internet Information
Services) and when I tried to remove it it refused to go so I went through the registery
and changed an entry so the computer thought IIS was no longer there then removed
it.
Could be spyware or something like that so use either Spybot or Lavasoft Ad-Aware
to remove any spyware on your machine. I can't be bothered to add any links to them
so search in google yourself.
In case it is a virus try using http://housecall.antivirus.com.
If you dont know what IIS is right click on My Computer and go to Manage. Expand
Services and Applications and it should be in there unless you didnt opt for it during
installation or at another date. I recommend you remove IIS and stick with apache.
Lot more stable. If you want to remove IIS go to your Control Panel and hit Add/Remove
Programs. Go down to Add/Remove Windows Components and jsut unselect Internet Information
Services (IIS).
Hope that helped you.
