Does anyone know where I can get a description of the subject Trojan
(TROJ_AGENT.SN).

For some reason it can't be found on Trend Micro's website and I can't
figure out what other names other Anti-Virus vendors use for this one.

Trend Micro Officescan identifies this as a found virus after scanning. It
is found in the "c:\system volume Information\_restore directory. My
symptoms are that the desktop is populated (regenerating after deletion)
with about 10 or so shortcuts to porn and sex sites (and others).
Additionally, popups keep appearing, some suggesting to "click here" to
download Anti-spyware and "fix" your machine. All browser attempts are
preempted and get redirected to http://ng(somethingIcan'tremember.com (or
vaguely similar). Seems also to disconnect modem dial up (maybe just a
byproduct of browser infection).

Thanks,

-Frank
