Tengo instalado STOPzilla. Cada vez que enciendo el ordenador sale una ventana flotante diciendo: El Servidor de STOPzilla no se esta ejecutando. He enviado varios correos a STOPzilla y nunca me han conestado. El "Administrador de Dispositivos" me pone que falta "szkgfs.sys". En "C:\WINDOWS\system32" no esta instalado "szkgfs.sys". ¿Cómo puedo descargarlo?. Atte.: erba005
