Vector smash protection is enabled PowerShell

Question

After issuing following command Invoke-WebRequest ekonomika.idnes.cz in PowerShell, its execution stops and I receive this message Vector smash protection is enabled. One of the cpu cores runs on 100%

A search on google did not reveal much more information - rather the opposite. Any ideas?

You are probably getting an IE prompt that looks like this:

To bypass this use the -UseBasicParsing switch:

Invoke-WebRequest ekonomika.idnes.cz -UseBasicParsing
