I have already bought the SpySweeper but yet it only quarantines, is there anyway to get rid of the spyware completely???

Spy Sweeper should remove it... however if spyware is quarantined then it is not active. you may want to take a look at Spy Sweeper tutorial: http://www.2-spyware.com/news/post200.html

Wow... all these "expert" opinions.
Why don't you open the "quarantine" and "remove" them from there?
Or is this program not good enough to have that option?
I don't remember it having one when I ran/tested it back about 4 years ago. It might not though. Check that and remove them from there, reboot, then rescan.
Hope this helps

There's a program called Spyware Doctor that is amazing at removing unwanted spyware. I believe this program is free.

slakatd doesn't have a clue, reformatting is not needed.
spysweeper is ok but not great.
adaware
www.lavasoft.com
spybot s&d
www.safer-networking.org
both are free
get them up todate, reboot and do a full scan
(update weekly or so)

HijackThis is very good, but you need to be careful that you don't remove the wrong stuff.

2 ways,
Lavasofts......Adaware
Spybots......Search and Destroy.
But you have to run them once a week, and I suggest you contribute to them to keep them up and running.
Google them for free downloads
