System resources drop dramatically

Well, have you tried scanning for viruses and spyware? Spyware and viruses will slow down your computer dramatically. I recommend you get the following programs to do some scans:

HiJack This!
Adaware
Spybot Search & Destroy
Norton AntiVirus/Mcaffe Anti Virus

Start with HiJack This, do a scan, save and post the log. Then Scan with adaware and scan with spybot, check all of the found spyware and choose to delete it.

As far as the linux distro you may want to try slackware or mandrake.

Why are you running WinME?? Last time I saw - you were running 2k3 server or something.

get rid of C:\PROGRAM FILES\SILICON PRAIRIE SOFTWARE\MEMTURBO\MEMTURBO.EXE
running memturbo likely to decrease performance, especailly as you have enough ram for WinME.

kill O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [warez] "C:\PROGRAM FILES\WAREZ P2P CLIENT\WAREZ.EXE" -h
 
It was over infecting the network, the system files and everything that was added. It was not possible to repair :(

And with all fixes, it's up to 58%. It's still too low.

What about the network ghost? As a prevetnative measure, what do the external DMZ system say in the logs?
