I just switched to XP (from W98), and I had to change

Listen 80
to
Listen 8080
beacause I had the following message:
"make_sock: could not bind to address 0.0.0.0:80"

In my conf file, i've defined

<VirtualHost *:80>

DocumentRoot "C:/Apache2/htdocs/mydir"
ServerName whatever.myserver.com
<Directory "C:/Apache2/htdocs/mydir">
#Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>

Any hints about why I had this problem?

Is there a way/utility to know who is already using it?

btw, it's a fresh install, so i seriously doubt about spyware. On the
other hand, the xp included firewall is disabled.

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.

I not sure if this is the same problem, but here is how I fixed it on
my Windows XP Pro.

It is IIS that is listening on port 80. I fixed this by going to the
control panel and click on Administrative Tools icon then Internet
Information Services icon. Click on the Web Sites folder. Right click
on Default Web Site icon and scroll down to properties. Change the
listen port to something other than 80, I chose 8080. Apache worked
fine after I did this. I am new to apache so I hope this s
someone. I know it took me a while to figure this problem out.

That's fine and good, but if you have no need for IIS, you should shut
it down entirely and for good. It's a security hole, unless it's
scrupulously set up. I believe it's a service that can be stopped in
Control Panel. Change the service to Manual or Disabled.
