You're probably running 'aufs' as the squid storage system (it's
defined after 'cache_dir' in squid.conf). That starts up multiple
threads to service the requests. What you're seeing are not processes
but threads of one process. It's a deficiancy of the "ps" command that
they are shown as multiple processes.
If for some reason you still want to get rid of that change
'cache_dir aufs ...' to 'cache_dir ufs ...' in squid.conf
This is all documented in the default squid.conf that comes
with squid.
Note that I'm talking about squid 2.4 here
