Ndisuio.sys is not spyware or any other malware.
It gains access to NDIS devices and processes through
IOCTL_NDISUIO_OPEN_DEVICE, and receives only those frames
that have an NDIS_MEDIUM type of NdisMedium802_3.

Sysgate firewall's traffic log clearly shows zero for outgoing traffic and non zero for incoming. It will just locally duplicate traffic.
If you don't use wireless networking just disable
"Wireless Zero Configuration" service.
If you do use Wi-Fi connection then this service is set to
'manual' or 'automatic', and it is (probably) running. So, after you connect to a wireless network, just stop this service and ndisuio.sys will stop with this behavior. No more data coming in for it anymore !
(note: to connect again to a wi-fi network, WZC needs to be started again.)
To deal with WZC service (or any other), do this:
Click "start", then click "run" and type "services.msc". Scroll all the way down to the bottom. Right click it and choose "Start" or "Stop", for starting and stopping it ;)
To change it's start up option, choose "properties" (or use double left click instead of right click).
Under "Startup type:" pick what you need. Click "OK" and that's it.
