Isn't this service disabled by default? I've never needed to enable it and I install new SQL Server instances just about every week. It's my understanding that nobody really needs a live list of all SQL Server instances on a server to be made available on the network, nevermind the Internet at large. This is one of those legacy services that Microsoft keeps around just in case somebody wants it but it's been a long time since it had any changes or updates. What they really need to do is have it not even included with the product. It should be a download-only utility, for those that really, really want this on their systems.
