Spy-bot Program Assistance is Requested.?

I am not what you would call a computer Expert or geek by any stretch of the imagination. A close relative recently installed a program on my computer called "Spy-bot". He claims that this is a worthwhile program to have on my desktop computer.

However, I was looking for a laptop computer earlier today at Office Max and the sales person opined that Spy-bot was not a worthwhile program and could cause me additional problems as time goes by.

I would be interested in hearing your opinion regarding this software and whether you think that I should remove it from my desktop or should I continue to use it on a periodic basis?

    it's definition updates are several weeks behind the rest of the world.

    it is old school crap.

    modern anti virus systems

    come with anti spyware built in.
