since virustotal shows nothing wrong/suspicious with their website.
VirusTotal does not scan websites for infections, it is checking URL against a number of blacklists

The ad URL purehotcompany.xyz is blacklisted
https://www.virustotal.com/en/url/8512ad0a1951dfbd08fcdcf4138ddfd918e1ea2abf117c73f258b8b3640d7bf7/analysis/1458219315/

It also seems to be taken down > http://www.downforeveryoneorjustme.com/http://purehotcompany.xyz/

To scan a website after a VT scan, click "additional information" tab and scroll down to bottom
Click on the Sucuri or Quttera links for website scanning

For scanning website with VT you need to get the html code and upload that to VT as a file

Thank you for the tips and for clarifying my question :) really helps to know that it was indeed a rogue ad on a legit website and has been already taken down. :)
