Only bad hostings have problems with these lines. You should contact your hosting to ask them why this does not work in their environment.

The .htaccess is always added. Don't remove the .htaccess, just comment with # these lines if your hosting does not accept them. I'm not sure about the security consequences of commenting these lines.

in installing drupal6 in a hosted site-sunos-apache, in some dirs like
defaults/file a
.htaccess was created ,with
                 'SetHandler
Drupal_Security_Do_Not_Remove_See_SA_2006_006' and
                 'Options None'
                 'Options +FollowSymLinks'

 which resulted in not being able to see images there (like an uploaded
logo). can i remove it?
Does drupal probed the hosted served and assumed it was no safe so it
added that file?
