NDISRD Helper Driver is the service name of the process called ndisrd.sys, a type of driver or SYS file, and is a part of the program Windows Packet Filter Kit, or NDIS Packet Redirector Driver, which is developed by NT Kernel Resources. This driver file is not just a basic module that is bundled within the software product, because it has a digital signature (Dynamic Internet Technology Inc. - GlobalSign Time Stamping Authority), which simply means that it is an essential process, and must not be terminated or stopped, unless it is causing errors or problems that affect the performance of the computer system. While it has registered itself into the Windows registry and stored on a folder location, ndisrd.sys needs to continuously run in the background. In addition, ndisrd.sys is a type of file that works with most versions of Microsoft Windows Operating Systems, which include Windows 8, Windows 7, Windows XP, and Windows Vista.
