I have installed Webroot Secureanywhere on a 64bit Win7 system.  Can I safely disable microsoft security essentials and firewall?     If so are there any tips on doing so?

Webroot makes use of the Windows firewall, so you'll want to leave that on.  We also work fine in conjunction with other security software, so it won't hurt anything for you to leave MSE turned on.
