"How to help protect against a WINS security issue

"We are investigating reports of a security issue with Microsoft Windows Internet Name Service (WINS). This security 
issue affects Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 Server, Microsoft Windows NT Server 4.0 Terminal Server Edition, Windows 2000 
Server, and Windows Server 2003. Windows 2000 Professional, Windows XP and Windows Millennium Edition (ME) are not 
affected by this vulnerability. Also, by default, WINS is not installed on any versions of Microsoft Windows."
