FF 4.0.1 gets "Bad Request - Invalid Verb" [HTTP Error 400. The request verb is invalid.] on MSDN when ESET Node32 installed.

I have the latest version of ESET Nod32 installed [4.0.417.0] and always get this error with this and the previous beta version of FF4 unless I disable Nod32 "Web Access Protection". This does not happen with IE9. OS is Windows 7 x64 and is up to date. This has happened since I installed V4 of FF last November. I have tried everything I can think of but only disabling Nod32 web access protection allows MSDN to work. Other sites are fine.

This happens merely going to http://msdn.microsoft.com

@Cor-el - thanks. I have tried this in the past and it did not work. I did however install the latest version of Nod32 last night and the problem seems to have gone away. I had tried uninstalling/reinstalling in the past which also did not work for longer than 5 minutes. Eset must have had a bad version and the new version fixed the issue even though they claimed they did not have any issues. Dave
