Any extensions for Chrome? Such as HTTPS Everywhere,AdBlock +,Wot,Ghostery.A password manager such as LastPass
I would suggest some type of backup plan manual or otherwise and an on-demand scanner(s) such as Malwarebytes and or Hitman Pro.
Thanks for sharing your config :)

With what exterminator20 suggested, i would consider some sort of back up for your system.

Like I replied to @zeusc4 I'll say the same here.

With basic knowledge, I strongly recommend learning about the PC, Internet and Software before diving into Testing Antivirus products on a VM or spare PC, as many things can go wrong even for experienced users.

Good to Read:
http://malwaretips.com/threads/how-to-test-applications-safely.21520/
And this,
http://malwaretips.com/threads/protecting-host-machine-from-malware-escaping-a-vm.5730/
This one too, you'll figure out why I recommended this:
http://malwaretips.com/threads/5-easy-tips-to-avoid-infections.6596/
Some information about Rootkits here:
http://malwaretips.com/threads/detecting-rootkits.10136/

Downloading and playing with Malware (malicious software) is dangerous and unpredictable, some malware can detect a virtual or sandboxed environment and won't deliver it's payload.

In my opinion, Bitdefender takes up too much system resources.
