I wonder if you could use something like Comodo Firewall or something similar which has a sandbox and running IE in the sandbox trying to get to that site.
Maybe that site became infected recently too. My Malwarebytes just wants to block that site.

If your browser is running as a full admin you should know better. You need to run it as a limited user, or have UAC(Vista/Win7) enabled properly to prevent things like this.

The plugins are commonly targeted for exploits, and so are the browsers so it's good to make sure those are up to date.

No anti-software is perfect, and they can only detect a finite number of patterns, which can also lead to false positives. So you cannot depend on them to protect you from your own actions.

This sounds like a serious addiction problem.
