Did your antivirus program say they detected a potential harmful site/banner/ad and blocked it from coming into your PC.  In which case, you should be okay.

Many sites will have ads/banners that have been reported as potentially malicious sites.  The antivirus program may just to super cautious in reporting this to you, but if they block the ad from showing and you don't care if you see it or not, then no problem. 

I use Avast and Malwarebytes security programs on my desktop and the pop-ups for potentially adverse banners/sites occur frequently.  I figure that if they are blocking the entrance of those ads to my PC, I'm okay.
