Run as administrator:
netstat -abp TCP

It will tell you which process listens on port 80.
Or install TCPview from sysinternals if you prefer a GUI.

I hope you are at least behind a NAT router then.
For protection against spyware you'd need a software firewall.
Try Sygate Personal Firewall (used to be free)
or Zone Alarm. IMHO they are both easier to handle and monitor
than the XP included one.
