This isn't saying you have a rootkit, but something that it considers suspect. Most probably a hidden driver of npptnt2.sys and splitter.sys, since these are considered suspect you should follow the advice to Ignore, as painful as this is in it being detected after every boot.
 
See this topic http://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=78461.0, which also mentions npptnt2.sys (ignore the bit about the behavior shield, the poster got that wrong) and you should report both of these as possible false positives as mentioned in Reply #6 of this topic.

Sending either of them to virustotal, won't achieve anything as the anti-rootkit scanning doesn't use the conventional avast signatures but a heuristic method, which can't be replicated on VT.

Thanks David for replying my problem.

Actually i already try to send to virus@avast(dot)com but the page is blank?

I really dont know how to send to their virus lab.

Please guide me how to?


On my observation sometimes no pop up appears on system start.



But definitely its a FP because this is a new format system.

This only happens on the latest build.

What do you mean by "Actually i already try to send to virus@avast(dot)com but the page is blank" ?

You can attach a copy of the file/s and you should but the information about the detection in the body of the email. If you place False Positive - Anti-Rootkit Scanner as the subject that virus@avast(dot)com is directed to the virus labs.

I already send to their email 10 hours ago with the .sys file and link to forum.

I still have no reply.
