Just to asnwer the OP's question and re-conrfirm what Unanomoushuman said, Sunflowers do stop the expansion of corruption/crimson, hallow too I believe.

To make it happen you have to plant two Sunflowers side by side, no gap between them. Sunflowers can only be planted on grass, so if you want to halt the assimilation of other biomes you'll have to place dirt and grass before planting the two Sunflowers.

It can still spread underground tho right?

And another thing is that it just keeps spreading like it or not and what i dont get is if i have to use the clentaminator on EVERYSINGLE block that is currupted in the world....

If you want to eliminate it entirely, yeah, you're gonna have to. If you just want it contained, however, you can accomplish that with a series of hellevators and just clentaminate the areas that you want cleansed.

There are a couple ways to end it. Use purification power ALL on the crimson to turn it normal, or limit its spreadability by breaking the crimson dirt, replacing normal dirt, putting sunflowers all along the edge, or use the clemanator to spray the hallow/overworld, or the longest way-completely destroy the crimson.Hope this helped!

Also, you can make a long wooden 2x2 wall (of solid wood, not walls) at the edge of the crimson down to the underworld

I find this odd. I've been playing 1.2.4.1 in a pre-hard mode world and I managed to stop the Crimson from spreading by placing two Sunflowers at the edge of the biome. The Crimson stopped right there.

Gotta be 3-wide, man. 2 wide will slow it, but it won't nearly stop it.

Well they're supposed to do that. It only stops working once Hardmode starts.

Use a block that the corruption and crimson cannot spread to, I used obsidian cuz I had a lot of it, then just build a box around wherever you don't want it spreading to, I got a screenshot on my profile if it helps

It stops once hardmode starts? That makes no sense because it starts spreading in hardmode

The Sunflowers stop the spread of the Corruption/Crimson. They stop doing that once hardmode starts, though, which means the Corruption/Crimson will uproot the Sunflowers.

I really need to learn to phrase things better.

If you meant that the Corruption/Crimson doesn't spread in pre-hardmode, well, you're wrong. Very wrong, in fact, because I've seen it spread, and there's plenty of evidence that it does so. However, it can't spread through stone, and thusly can't spread underground until hardmode starts.
