Lost all extensions on Chrome.

After restarting chrome the other day, all my extensions disappeared. I'm still signed in and have my saved passwords and stuff. All the threads I find on Google are from over a year ago. Anybody know how to fix this? I've tried restarting my browser and machine, and logging out and logging back into Chrome.

Let me know if you find anything. Without more information, it sounds to me like a virus or virus-cleaning effect; Those folders are often deleted when cache files are played with.
Did you try re-adding any extensions? Maybe one that you didn't have before? What happens when you try? Are other Browsers (Firefox, IE) no extension-less too?
I'm on windows 7, and C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Extensions has a bunch of folders with names that look like someone bashed on a keyboard randomly, but no .crx files. Is that normal? I haven't re-added any extensions, and I never use Firefox or IE. I don't think I've done any virus scanning stuff so I don't think that's it.
