Maybe it's just me, but I would think that simply getting them listed on stopbadware.org and other similar sites would probably have much more of an effect. The bad publicity can cause them to change tactics, but it takes some time. I've seen much quicker results from blacklisting on Google and other search engines.
I've reported it as a malware site via Firefox. Have you? But the whole site should be scanned for other/similar malware, and blocked accordingly. Probably a harder problem, as it gives different downloads depending on browser and OS.
