--> What are they?

W32/Beagle.ag@MM and W32/Beagle.ai@MM are Medium risk
mass-mailing worms that try to open a backdoor on your PC,
giving a hacker remote access. Like their predecessors,
these worms spread by emailing themselves to stolen contacts
and via popular file-sharing programs such as KaZaa,
Bearshare and Limewire. They also try to terminate
anti-virus and other security software operation.
