Cyber Bad Guys - Why they succeed?

Do you know or ever wonder why cyber bad guys succeed in their attempts to well, do bad things to your computers, despite the kind of awareness that prevails? One of the reason I feel is there is no concentrated effort against them. I recently joined up a mailing group called stopbadware. I was reading through the emails and I realised that many of the people are upset about the bad guys and the threats they pose and want to do something about it. Each one has its one views / opinions about how to tackle it and once they feel that they cannot have their say or can't agree to the current, they leave the group and start another one with roughly the same mission.

So far I have seen:

1. APWG - Antiphishing Working group
2. Stop Badware
3. Cleanware
4. Clearware (coming up)
   
5. MS-ISAC
6. Security software vendors websites
7. Innumerable forums
8. Technology magazines
9. Certification bodies (ISACA, ISC² )
   

I am sure that I have seen just the tip of the iceberg (or even less) and there is a lot more to this. Frankly this effort is not good enough. Everyone has a limitation in what they can see and report or even notice. Because of this you are more likely to miss out some things. Every vendor has its own method to fight badware and justifiably so. But what would make it effective is a single place for a list of all existing badware. I know this is a very lofty goal and risking the same thing, I would say, I would make my website the destination for this. As of now, I am the lone ranger maintaining and updating the site. But if I get help from people in anyway, I feel I can build a decent database and a go-to place for people looking to protect themselves from badware.
