I leave my laptop on 24-7 with MJ running....

could this lead to any problems? I also have Avast! A/V set to go on screen saver (to scan) so far NP, I'm not PC savy an want to avoid problems,do you think this is going to cause any problems down the line?

MJ should not cause any problems any more than any other program or device normally running on a pc 24/7. Only possible exception is that MJ technical recomends MJ be ocasionally unpluged for about a minute and then plugged back into the USB jack. I am not sure what the interval is but you can check the FAQ on web site. I am running my MJ 24/7 on a HP thin client and I have installed several MJs on laptops and pcs for friends who leave their pcs on 24/7 without any problems other than as recommended above.

Thanks lockmaster I think your correct, I'm going to continue...an I will unplug it every day for a bit, that seems to be an easy suggestion, I had not thought of doing, great help,there:)

Mine runs 24/7 for months at a time,last time I messed around with it I ended up with the dreaded USB not connected error!!

Reboot the machine if you must,avoid repeated disconnect/reconnect of the USB dongle. Just my advice..

I second the advice. I have my machine running 24x7 and only pull out the dongle when all else fails. The machine has been running w/o a reboot for about 30 days (whoo hoo - hard to believe its a windows box...) and MJ has not been removed or reset in all that time. I have had instances where it wouldn't complete calls and a simple restart from the advanced user menu didn't work. Only pulling out the dongle and reinserting it would fix the problem.
