Vista - I can't stop the application, "httpd.exe", jamming my computer!

07-05-2008

I am using Windows XP (lang.: en-U.K.). I recently found that an application
called "httpd.exe" is running all the time (when the computer is on) and used
up lots of the "CPU usage", from 10%~98%. My computer slows down graduatlly.
When I tried to delete the "httpd.exe" from C:\WINDOWS and the related PF
file from C:\WINDOWS\Prefetch, it "disappeared" again after several seconds.
Also, when I tried to "End process" from the Task Manger. It also
"disappeared" in the "processes" list again. What can I do further in order
to stop or delete that application so that my computer won't slows down again
becaused of that?

Start by finding an appropriate group for your issue. Here's how.
