This issue has been solved. See solution.
We have installed Symantec end point solution antivirus software in windows 2003 64 bit OS. where we are facing problem with the antivirus software. The software is using high memory due to some leakage. We have consulted microsoft people. Microsoft people have suggested to check with the below aspect.
 
It appears that pooltag NDCM belongs to wpshelper.sys from Symantec Intrusion Detection - WpsHelper and its taking most of the NPP.
Its required to get the application vendor to update the driver and check if it's a know issue with this driver.

The pool log analysis as below:

----------------------Pool Log Analysis---------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------------
Pool Tag: NDCM
Type: Pool_Non-Paged
Leaking?: *YES*
First/Average/Last/High Values: 499.68 MB / 1050.29 MB / 1743.44 MB / 1743.44 MB
Mapped Driver: Unknown Driver
------------------------------------------------------------------
Pool Tag: _Total Pool Non-Paged Bytes
Type: Pool_Non-Paged
Leaking?: *YES*
First/Average/Last/High Values: 14.96 MB / 1087.96 MB / 1786.27 MB / 1786.27 MB
Mapped Driver: N/A

Please suggest me on this.

Sincerely,
Nagender.

WpsHelper.sys is Intrusion

WpsHelper.sys is Intrusion prevention driver for NEtwork Threat Protection component of Symantec Endpoint Protection.
As Microsoft suggested make sure you are using the latest version of SEP 11.0.4202.xx.
If not upgrade it to this version and then check if it resolves your issue.

Proactive Threat Protection

Proactive Threat Protection will remain Off by default on any server OS or 64 bit OS.
So if its a server then its fine.
If its a 32 bit client OS then try to repair the SEP from add or remove program or Uninstall or reinstall the SEP.
Also if your Liveupdate is not working I would like to know first is it a managed client or unmanaged client?
