Can anyone tell me what type of spider this is? Is it dangerous?

It looks like a harmless cobweb weaver, but would really need a better picture to give a better ID.

Another possibility is a house spider in the genus Tegenaria - a better image would be very helpful in resolving this i.d.

Images still not sufficient for confirmation. See http://www.venomland.net/t2411-my-phoneutria-s for some images of the only truly dangerous spiders likely to hitch a ride from South America,
