Many operating systems, including Windows and Mac OS X, are shipping
with Kerberos integrated into the operating system these days. So,
yes, deleting part of the operating system is likely to cause you
problems. Many operating systems also have auditing capabilities,
though that's not really part of Kerberos proper.
Why do you think your machine was "infected" with Kerberos software?
If your machine was infected with some software that's taking control
of the machine from you, I don't think it's related to the Kerberos
software that gets discussed on this list. You might want to try
installing some kind of anti-virus software, or re-installing.
