Default Rootkit? psi_mf.sys

Hi I just scanned my computer for rootkits with avg 9. It turned up this result psi_mf.sys
Is this a rootkit? Tho google results seem to indicate that this is part of Secunia personal software inspector, which i had but I uninstalled it about a half hour before i scanned with revo using a moderate scan so it should have been deleted on the extra scan by revo (I restarted too). It seems to be a false positive (I can delete it anyway since im not using the program anymore) but I want to know if i have a rootkit or not. Any info is appreciated. Thanks
