Over a gigabit. This will be more dependent on the pci bus than the
processor.

Filtering viruses is usually done at the server. There are several open
source solution for scanning/filtering mail
http://clamav.sourceforge.net/ or http://mailtools.anomy.net/

For web filtering you could add dansguardian and squid to ipcop and do
some filtering.

FTP; you could use a web based upload/filemanager app and modify it to
scan everything as its uploaded before its saved to disc.

I hope this helps.
