Hi,

I found Sawmill to be pretty outstanding. Not free but various versions
are available and if you will be analysing only a single Squid logfile
then the Lite version should do the job for you.

http://sawmill.co.uk/

The only caveat is that as it runs as it's own server it can consume all
important resources if installed on the same server as Squid. However as
you mentioned Windows specifically then you could install Sawmill on one
server to read the logs from a mapped drive.

Other alternatives are a Windows version of Webalizer, Analog and others
which are free and open source but require extensive customisation.

Your mileage may vary but I hope this helps,

regards
