Do you know anything about this virus: Trojan-Downloader.Win32.Agent.bhis?

It spawns a new tmp file every couple of minutes and two different virus scanners (not running simultaneously) have not been able to handle it. It may be linked to a porn site that opens up occasionally. I can't do any work because the warnings keep popping up every two minutes.

I can't complete a virus scan or restore my system to an earlier date. I've been trying to get rid of it for three days.

ALSO: how dangerous is it, apart from being a nuisance.

Update:

BEWARE! This is a deadly virus.

It is now opening new files at the average rate of one every ten seconds.

It took me 10 minutes to open my browser (speed:100mps), and I can't shut down my computer unless I cut the power. I don't know what else it does!

    I did a quick search and this site seems to have a good amount of info on it: http://www.viruslist.com/en/viruses/encyclopedia?v...

    The reason why two different anti-virus programs might not be getting it could be because the virus is stopping them. When you read step-by-step accounts on what viruses do when they're alive on your PC, one of the first things is disable anti-viruses.

    I was sure you could download free removal tools for certain viruses at some big named anti-virus companies, but so far, I haven't found any.

    EDIT: I don't know how good it is, but there is a youtube video on how to remove it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fGH7NxSEGtA
