McAfee at the same time as avast? Won't they conflict?
You can send samples for analysis to virus@avast.com
If you Google Win32:Beagle you'll find tons of info. Hope some of them help.

Hi bekor,

Read about this worm here:
http://www.sophos.com/virusinfo/analyses/w32agobotft.html and read the links in this page for description and recovery. Then you will know what to do.
Two resident scanners on a computer is a bad idea, first remove one completely, then install the other. It is just as with two guard dogs in front of a house, they start to quarrel and let intruders pass by, some are just going to fight each other.
The story of the two guard dogs is the same for software FWs. Some people think two is more and ergo better than one, they are fully wrong. Welcome to the forum and we hope the malware you see may be scarce,

greets,

polonus
