UNknown Item under Web Client Network

Question

Looking around at various things in my computer, I noticed an item called Frcc.cc.co.us under :   My Network Places/Entire Network/Web Client Items   Also under there is a folder called Docs on Frcc.cc.co.us   I deleted the Docs folder, but it reappeared. I cannot delete the Web Client Items entry, as it is apparently part of out network.   I ran an extra virus scan, but it show s up noting, and I cannot find anything about it (other than it related to a Community College) that would indicate a virus.   Help?

This is where it is pointed to.  http://frcc.cc.co.us/       'The Web Client service allows applications to access documents on the Internet'  Most people never use this feature.   If you are paranoid You can safely disable  the web client service in contol panel/administrative tools/Services,   stretch the window out and scroll down to 'web client', double click it and hit the stop button, now drop the 'start up type' box down and select 'disable' then OK. reboot.        http://www.theeldergeek.com/services_guide.htm                 here is a guide to safely turning off other services to free up memory and improve performance in XP.

I guess I am the paranoid type...   Since I have True IMage,  I just reinstalled system from a previous image. I had another minor (very minor) system abnormality, and TI is so easy....   Thanks for your reply - if it happens again, are you saying there is o way just to delete that entry in the Web Client Network?
