Window opens up while surfing through certian sites

Hi,
i am having a really bad problem on my laptop. While surfing on the web, when i visit certian sites, a porno window (always of the same site) opens up. I tried every possible option I could come across. I cleaned up the system with Norton and AVG. I used SpyBot, SpyFerret, SpywareDoctor, CWShredder and many other options given in this link.

SpyBot-S&D : http://www.webattack.com/download/dlspybot.shtml 
Ad-aware : http://www.webattack.com/download/dladaware.shtml 
Trojan Remover :http://www.simplysup.com/
HijackThis : http://www.webattack.com/download/dlhijackthis.shtml 
KL-Detector  :http://www.webattack.com/download/dlkldetector.shtml
X-Cleaner Free  :http://www.webattack.com/download/dlxcleaner.shtml
SpywareBlaster  :http://www.webattack.com/download/dlspywareblaster.shtml
SpywareGuard :http://www.webattack.com/download/dlspywareguard.shtml
SpySites  :http://www.webattack.com/download/dlspysites.shtml

Spycop: http://www.spycop.com/
BHODemon : http://www.spywareinfo.com/downloads/bhod/
Browser Hijack Blaster : http://www.wilderssecurity.net/bhblaster.html
Goodbye Spy http://www.topshareware.com/GoodBye-Spy-download-2012.htm
CWShredder: http://www.spywareinfo.com/~merijn/cwschronicles.html#cwshredder
Other spyware removal instructions: http://www.pchell.com/support/click2findnow.shtml

None of them seem to overcome this problem. I addition to this i searched the Registry keys and in \hkey_users\Software\Microsoft\SearchAssistant\AMRU, i found an entry for "hotlive". I removed this as well. but to no effect. Again, as I said earlier, the porno windo keeps popping up only when i visit certian sites.

Any help is very much appreciated.

Thanks in advance..
