It's result of the BEAGLE.O or BEAGLE.R or BEAGLE.S or BEAGLE.T Viruses.
W32.Beagle.T@mm is a variant of W32.Beagle.R@mm.
This worm attempts to send an HTML email with various characteristics to the addresses found in the files on an infected computer.
The email does not contain an attachment of the worm. Instead, the HTML email uses the Microsoft Internet Explorer Object Tag Vulnerability
that allows for the automatic download and execution of a file hosted on a remote Web site.
This file is a copy of the worm, but may change in the future.
The worm also opens a backdoor, starts a Web server on port 81 to serve the worm, and attempts to spread through file-sharing networks

I created UnHackMe in 2006 to fix the problem that antivioruses did not fix: detecting rootkits.
Since that time I work every day to fix the issues that antiviruses cannot.
If your antivirus have not helped you solve the problem, you should try UnHackMe.
We are a small company and you can ask me directly, if you have any questions.
