Hello everybody,
sfamcc00001.dll along with sfareca00001.dll files are both generated by a SpeedFan application. After closing the Speedfan, all the generated files will disappear. (it's not a malware, I guess)

It's generated by Speedfan (http://www.almico.com/speedfan.php), so leave if you run the application .

According to an anonymous user over at VirusTotal's community forum, sfamcc00001.dll belongs to the SpeedFan tool:

"When Speedfan is running, it creates the 2 files under %temp%: sfamcc00001.dll and sfamca00001.dll. It's bad practice to be placing executables for any process under the temp folders. When Speedfan is running, these files are locked for exclusive use yet you cannot get Unlocker to unlock them (to delete them).

If you look at the entry points for the methods (functions) in sfareca00001.dll, you'll notice they appear to define Areca functions. See http://www.areca.us/news/2008/n102408_02.htm. The sfamcc00001.dll files has entry points for Threeware (3Ware/AMCC) methods. It looks like Speedfan does its hardware detections and then builds on-the-fly these .dll files since they are obviously not included with Speedfan or found in its installation folder. Speedfan's author hasn't bothered to comment on why his product dynamically loads an emulated driver for a device that doesn't exist (since users reporting these suspicious files often do not have Areca or 3Ware products in their computers)."
