I don't know what I did, but my explorer has been highjacked.

Everytime I start IE, a website http://www.search-space.com/ comes up as my
homepage. Soon after, randmonly, it goes to a porn site. The latest one with
"minors" as models. It really bothers me.

I had run regedit and remove every reference of this search-space.com, I
have run Spybot, Ad-aware 6.0, and disk cleaner. The problem gets solved
until I restart the PC. then everything goes back to normal (or abnormal),
as if there is some EXE file changing everything back to normal.

Help, please.

Make sure your virus scanner is up to date and run a full system scan.  I've
seen a similar case once before where spybot & adaware would fix the problem
only temporarily until it was detected by norton.
