I still haven't found a good solution to this even after trying all of 
the suggestions posted on the previous threads.  If turn off "Dangerous 
Content Scanning" the error goes away but you lose that functionality.

I have had to disable it until a solution can be found.  Its not ideal.

Good luck!
