Website blocked due to riskware keeps popping up!

[SarahS]

Hello I keep receiving riskware popups from the same website and it's annoying! I've tried blocking the port and IP through windows firewall, but it still keeps popping up! I've also got the beta version of malwarebytes and installed a update and that didn't help. I don't know how to get rid of this pop up. Please help!
