I have Microsoft essentials and Spybot-S&D installed on my computer, but have just installed webroot security, can I safely remove those? Is there any benifit to saving?

Hi Olefogey
Welcome to the Community Forums.
The approach is really up to you as WSA will play nicely with the two other security apps you have installed (that is by design from Webroot, by the way) or you can just go with WSA on its own, as it will protect you very well as a sole security app.
Personally, I would disable MSE and just run SpybotS&D as a 2nd opinion scanner, and for the other features it has, leaving WSA as you primary security app...but that is just me.
For your information please see the diagram below from more information on WSA and how it leverages the power of the Webroot Cloud to protect you very well but with probably the lightest footprint of all major security apps.
Hope that helps?
Regards, Baldrick
