spyware removal broke my apache 2.0.52 install?

I just had a nasty war with some spyware/adware programs, and think I
finally got rid of them all, but now I notice my web server is not
functioning.

If I shut off the web server and try to go to http://localhost, it comes
back quickly with a "cannot find server" error. When I turn the web server
on and try to look at localhost, the web browser just sits there basicly
forever waiting for a response or whatnot. The same behaviors hold when I
try accessing the server from another machine on my LAN using the internal
IP address of the the server (ie 192.168.1.101).

I tried setting "LogLevel debug" in my .conf file; the only entries in the
error log when I start the web server are related to scoreboards, setting up
listeners, mutexes, and starting 250 worker threads. Nothing particularly
nasty seems to be put there. The access log never get updated at all when I
try to go to localhost in the browser.

I also tried uninstalling and reinstalling with the default configuration
and the pages (htdocs) that come with the web server, with the same results
before and after. I also made sure my etc\hosts file is empty except for
the 127.0.0.1 localhost entry.

Anyone seen anything like this, or know what might be happening? Thanks for
the help.

Sometimes I save it all to a new folder and re-install Apache as a server in
Port 80 and seems to work ok.
