Padding is invalid and cannot be removed.

[Amelyan]

Why does this happen? How to fix it?

Once in a while I get error in ~/ScriptResource.axd?d=...

System.Reflection.TargetInvocationException: Exception has been thrown by
the target of an invocation. --->

I get this error once in a while in once of my web applications, and after
doing some searching on Google, it sounds like the error is caused by Google
trying to get information from sites to rank them.

Not sure if it is true, but it was the only information I found...
