FP? HPZipm12.exe detected as rootkit

I was awakened this morning by Avast declaring, while running its daily scan, that a rootkit had been detected! The file in question was HPZipm12.exe, last modified in 2007 & on the system since 2008. Off I go to VirusTotal...
Someone had uploaded & scanned it earlier today with 1/56 detections, Avast being the only one. I scanned it again anyway & now it shows 2/56, Avast & NANO-Antivirus. Results at

Next to Jotti: 1/21 - only Avast detected anything.

I believe this is an FP. Would you please look into it? Let me know if you need anything else from me. Thanks!

Submit a ticket to avast about it.
Mention why you believe it is a (possible) FP and send them the file.
Please use the search option before posting.
Things like this have been explained many times before.
