Hi I'm getting exactly the same detection. I'm using Avast! IS which is fully up to date. Member Posts: EDIT: I believe it's been successfuly uploaded now Lenovo T laptop, Intel Core iM 2.

As much of a pain in the rear that getting this alert 8 after boot, you want to know about it, as when avast clears this up and I'm confident it is an FP , which should be quickly.

It does appear that this is on XP systems as I haven't had any alert on my win7 netbook possibly it doesn't use sfloppy. Coriakin Guest. Got the same rootkit warning about sfloppy. I chose the delete option first time it happened, then ran the bootscan. Everything was clean. After rebooting, the same warning pops up; deleted it and rebooted. Warning pops up yet again; this time had to download a Kaspersky TDSSkiller app; my system passes with no infected file.
After reading the posts here, I chose to ignore the last time the popup appeared. I've checked myself and the file itself along with a google and it looks more like a false positive as other sites already say it's safe since it's a required driver if you have a floppy disk drive.

Deleted the file, did boot time scan and restarted and now getting same notification that rootkit is still there.
