Looks good. Add some system backup option.
Could you tell what was the infection which you cleaned recently ?

I recommend you. Leave Chrome and use Firefox.. And use WOT I think it is better than trafficlight.
if you have backup it is enough for you. if you have a basic knowledge. I also recommend a firewall

For which reasons ?
Just a recommend.. You have more customized browser with add-ons.
Most important think is PRİVACY. You know we are talking about "Google Chrome". If he wants same features with Chrome and Privacy.. He has a little options
Are you using Chrome mate ? You know better than me about Chrome and Google ?

Do you use a Password Manager? I recommend LastPass and works for all browsers. Make sure your LastPass master password is long and non-guessable. LastPass also provides security checks for any compromised email addresses.

For example: Adobe data breach, I was sent an email by LastPass about my email may have been compromised.

Edit: Just to clarify. Not your email account, but your email associated with the product/service.

@yigido What privacy concerns do you have of Chrome, and how does Firefox solve them? (I'm not referring to browser extensions).

@Earth here what I can found about Google Chrome browser, I recommend Dragon or SRWare Iron if you want chromium browser all these are removed in this browsers
URL Tracker
Calls depending on the configuration five seconds after launch the Google homepage opens in background

RLZ-Tracking
This Chrome-function transmits information in encoded form to Google, for example, when and where Chrome has been downloaded.

Error Reporting
Depending on the configuration, details about crashes or failures are sent Google's servers.

Alternate Error Pages
Depending on the configuration, if you have typed a false address in the adress bar, this is sent to Google and you get an error message from Google's servers.

Suggest
Depending on the configuration, each time you put something in the address line,this information is sent to Google to provide suggestions.

Installation-ID
A copy of Google Chrome includes a generated installation number which will be sent to Google after the installation and the first usage. It gets deleted when Chrome checks first time for updates.If Chrome is received as part of a promotional campaign, it may generate a unique promotion number which is sent to Google on the first run and first use of Google Chrome.

Check your sources, some of that information is out-dated, as Google has changed some of the settings.

RLZ Identifier is partial
Client ID Error Reporting is Optional
Omnibox Suggestions is Optional
Page Not Found is Optional

So 50% of the items listed in your post are Optional and not Mandatory.

The fact is, Chrome (by Google) will provide the latest updates of the Chromium-based browser, and comes with sandboxed Flash Player, PDF-reader and Malware Blocking (only else seen in IE). For a compromise, it's worth it.

But if you don't trust Google. Then I suggest you don't use Google Search, Gmail, GDocs and Youtube or even have a Google Account.

Maybe they left these service but after all these events I cannot trust Google again. I respect your choices. Mine was only suggestion
I left their services.
Startpage instead of Google Search
I do not use GMail ( I have one but this mail for spamming ;) )
I do not use GDocs and Youtube (if you mean G+), I have a video service in my country.

I know brah but if u ask 100 users which search engine they prefer then most of them vote for google coz it give accurate search results & saves a lot of time, brah :) there are some addons in firefox which helps u to minimize tracking of google like google disconnect, google privacy, google no tracking url but there are some annoying bugs with google disconnect, hope they will fix it soon in next update. many users reported google disconnect works well then others . thnx :D
