PowerShell Remoting Error When Trying to use Invoke-Command Against a Domain Controller

I wrote a blog article last year where the Antivirus I was using on my workstation had caused issues when trying to connect to remote machines with PowerShell. I recently reloaded my workstation with Windows 8.1 and reloaded the Antivirus which is now at version 7 (Eset NOD32). Remote connectivity via PowerShell worked without issue and without having to change any settings except when trying to use the Invoke-Command cmdlet against domain controllers which I find to be very strange.

1Invoke-Command -ComputerName dc01 {Get-Process} -Credential (Get-Credential)

Here's the error that was received when attempting to use the PowerShell remoting Invoke-Command cmdlet against a domain controller:

1[dc01] Connecting to remote server dc01 failed with the following error message : The WinRM client cannot process
2the request. It cannot determine the content type of the HTTP response from the destination computer. The content type
3is absent or invalid. For more information, see the about_Remote_Troubleshooting Help topic.
4+ CategoryInfo : OpenError: (dc01:String) [], PSRemotingTransportException
5+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : -2144108297,PSSessionStateBroken

The solution was to exclude PowerShell.exe and PowerShell_ise.exe from the protocol filtering in the Antivirus software as shown in the following image:
