Insect and Spider Identification: CLOSED: Is this a black widow spider?, 1 by Kalisnick

We are finding these all over under our siding and in out of the way places around our fence, house, in where the water meter is and our garage. (I assume that they are in our house as well... shudder). We try and keep things uncluttered, but we get them anyway. This one showed up on some landscaping we installed about two weeks ago.

If it's not a black widow, then any ideas what type it is and is it dangerous?

By the way, we live in South Carolina, not on the coast but mid-state.
