I received Avast (Windows) Virus Alerts on Both the Rosetta AND the SETI Results web sites:

I can't attach a screenshot, so here's a summary:

Almost certainly a false alarm, but submit your url to https://www.virustotal.com/#/home/url if you're worried.

Btw both of your link have restricted access since they are your personal account pages..

You could always look at the page source code and see the links that are listed in it.
At least when i view mine, there is no link that resemble anything close to a chasebank fake url..

If you check yours and there is a suspect link in there, it might mean a browser plugin, or virus or software is modifying/injecting your html pages in your cache or memory.
If not, it is probably a fake positive..

I tried many other pages & I was Only (and repeatedly) getting the alerts on the results pages.

It does appear that the problem is cleared on both the SETI and the Rosetta pages.
