For reference, my OS is Windows 8.1. Or perhaps what the most recent one is, I don't actually pay that much attention to that sort of stuff.
I use Google Chrome, and it usually serves me well. Last night, though, it reloaded after a crash...as some kind of app instead of the windowed program it normally is. All the tabs from all my windows were in one "window," which was...inconvenient. It also made quickly switching between pages a difficult task.

This morning, searching for a solution, I discovered an option that said "Relaunch Chrome on the desktop," and clicked it. The app closed, and...nothing. I reopened Chrome, got a blank page. Not even a "Your last session ended improperly. Would you like to get all those tabs back, some of which you were working on something in and would be saved if Chrome was working like it has been ever since you started using it?" kind of message.

So. Two questions.
1. How do I get Chrome back to the desktop mode?
2. Can I get those tabs back? If so, how?

Do people not use that technical problems thread on LA anymore?

Anyway, this is probably that piece of shit malware that ran around on Youtube. Abandon all hope, uninstall that shit, run malwarebytes and get a fresh install.

Could you provide some kind of reference to this malware?

I guessed what LA stood for, I had just never heard of that thread.
