The question has been closed for the following reason "No longer relevant" by IQ Moderator 29 Nov '13, 15:20
If you are seeing this message then the Inward Quest system has noticed that your web browser is behaving in an unusual way and is now blocking your active participation in this site for security reasons. As a result, among other things, you may find that you are unable to answer any questions or leave any comments. Unusual browser behavior is often caused by add-ons (ad-blocking, privacy etc) that interfere with the operation of our website. If you have installed these kinds of add-ons, we suggest you disable them for this website
the slow down on iq meta is caused by error in the first line of htlm to access the site and by some old version of J-Query migrate line, that cause a long request. do you have a good security suite on your computer and is your computer updated? then you should not have any problem. it might be the face book link that you have click. scan your system for virus and malware, sometime they cause those popups that redirect you to other site or try to download junk on your pc. iq is pretty good.
also if you encounter error on a web page note what is the page and where the error occur lets say when I press this button or this link with the name of it. like that you can look and find if their is error on the web site. a web page is made of many line of code htlm, css, java and other.example: if I would say to you I found a error in the bible. you would ask what page is it and in what chapter. simon already know about iq meta I gave him the error in is first htlm line of code so that he-
can fix it. will see if he fix it or not it seams he does not want to put resource on iq meta. but if people can not use the support link that bring you to iq meta the only way to get something technical across is on iq question just like you did because you add no other choice. also if you need a good security suite I would recommend Norton or Kapersky if you look-
http://avtest.org/en/news/news-single-view/artikel//the-best-internet-security-suites-for-windows-complete-an-endurance-test-lasting-6-months/ it will answer your question about what is the best security suite to buy to have a full protection it is independent company that test security suite. you can look this link also that come from the same site the higher the line the best is the security suite http://www.av-test.org/en/tests/home-user/windows-8/janfeb-2013/ hope it answer your question.
@Roy, we're leaving this "question" open for now since you are saying you cannot access the support site, IQ Meta ( http://meta.inwardquest.com ) and in case anyone else is suffering the same problems. However, we cannot see anything unusual on either site.
try adblocker plus.
Every time I open this question they are there,others have seen them as well...I am looking at two right now.
I have tried the ad blocker,and have run a full scan...nothing shows up.just on IQ.
If security software like Malwarebyte's Anti-Malware or Avast or AVG are suggesting you have no malware on your computer, you should check the extensions on your browser.
You can have addons / extensions running which wont register as malicious software to scans but still serve ad content you would consider unpleasant.
I don't believe any of the native IQ ads ever should have had popups, but I wouldn't know for sure because I use adblockers..
I am running an adblocker,but this came in through a IQ question posted on face book.I cant get rid of it.
@roy what browser are you using? what is the popups in question? you could also look in your browser setting to not allow popups. you could try internet explorer 11 it block 99.6% of malware. chrome block 83% and other browser block less then 10% and like I said before see if you are not missing some update since this summer there was 2 patch for browser security. the browser is your first layer of security. then your security suite. you can also use internal hardware security like enable-
disable bits on the processor, and new system also have some new things to protect your system but I will not go in the detail. you can look for wiki whats new in windows 8 and you can see what those technology are.
I found it, something called masponi.Seems ok now,but I wont be rushing to share anything posted on fb for a while.Thanks for all your help.
Also, rootkit infections are different and require different software to detect them. Malwarebytes also offers an anti-rootkit tool you should try running. Can be a good idea whether you're still noticeably encountering problems or not.
