“mini-httpd is a minimalistic web server designed for optimal performance, high security, and as little use of system resources as possible. Unlike most other web servers, mini-httpd does not require more than one process or system thread in order to handle an arbitrary number of requests concurrently.”
Ooop
Doesn’t sound good…
It is a legitimate file
It may be a legitimate file,
but why would he have Apache Server running on his computer?
Damnit!!
I have restarted my PC and re-ran DDS without ending any processes I thought to be suspicious,
Does this tell anymore information?
I have also un-installed a software called Xampp which I thought might be the problem…
Thanks

Excellent. The httpd processes sound legit then
My suggestions now to you:
Update your Avast to version 6
(I had to deinstall & reinstall in my case, may not be necessary in yours)
Apply Windows XP Service Pack 3
