| Description | W32.Beagle.T@mm is a variant of W32.Beagle.R@mm. This worm attempts to send an HTML email 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 by copying itself to folders with "shar" in their names. The worm is also a file infector that appends itself to the .exe files found on the computer. |
