Built-in Cleaner for Pro

Hi! I've had my Pro for over 2 years now, my friend had hers about the same time. I noticed that her pro has a cleaner. What it does is that when any external device like a USB or Hard Drive is plugged-in, before its opened, her computer scans and cleans it. And she says its built-in. The thing is, I don't have such feature in my Pro. So does a Pro have its own built-in cleaner? Does it need to be activated somewhere? Coz i tried searching using HELP but I couldn't find it.

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.6.8)

You dont want such things, and most all here will recommend you NEVER install garbage-ware "cleaning" applications on your Mac.

If its a product called MacKeeper, its far worse than useless, and causes serious issues. There are many 1000s of posts about such software and why you should not use it.

Macs take care of themselves if you take a little care yourself in their use.

Oh, tell me about it. MacKeeper is the worst. But what my friend has is one that is built-in. She said she never installed any cleaning app like MacKeeper. It has been doing that ever since she had her Pro. I wanna know if there is anything I need to activate in my Pro to have that built-in cleaner. I've read somewhere that MacBooks have built-in cleaners but mine doesn't.
