There's no re-leaf in sight. This pun-ishment must stem from some deep-rooted affliction.

Keep your fronds close, but your anemones closer!
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

Oldest trick in the book: preying on the stupid.
From: Peypal Manager Personnel <manger@poypil.ru>
... please opening the attachment kindly attached to you.
Duh, OK, looks important, [even though I didn't use paypal before] better open the attachment
It's their own bloody fault! Animals can be trained not to do stuff like that, what's wrong with these people?
I've got zero sympathy for the stupid, absolute zero - even if they are a client.

Years ago it happened to me that I wanted to open an e-mail directly from the small popup window that appears on top of the windows clock in the taskbar... when I clicked there the popup changed exactly at that moment to the next e-mail message which was spam so I ended clicking on a spam message...
A colleague was in front of the computer at that moment seeing what I was doing and both of us were like...  
Those things happen... Of course since that day I never click on messages directly there.
The problem gets bigger when there are people that need to use computers for their daily work that are not computer experts at all. Then everything can happen... you could have a perfect worker in a workshop that needs to see mechanical drawings and need an e-mail address to talk to some providers or even company customers... If what I explained at the beginning happened to me... imagine what can happen to those people...
The problem here is not the people that use computers.
The problem here is that there are plenty of bad guys/girls out there trying to steal and/or make damage...
It is a lost battle, if you need to be 100% of the time alert, then it is wrong by design...
It's like saying that you should not give directions to tourists during holidays because they can steal, kill or whatever-you-want...
Who knows probably it is what we all should do...

I was reading about the latest virus infection in Europe, and the photo showed an ATM terminal having this message. Every once in a while I get it (although it seems that this has stopped since going to Window 10). What's really going on with this message?

You are joking, right? CHKDSK[^] is part of the OS and tries to repair damage in the file system. I have not yet heard of any malware posing as CHKDSK to do something evil.
And then, of course, there still is Windows 10 that poses as an operating system.

that's exactly what this latest malware does.
look at the article the OP linked to. there's a screenshot.

No. They said that someone reported that their network is down and a screenshot of chkdsk at work. This could just as well been the result of switching the computer on and off without shutting down properly. Nobody really claimed this to be the malware in disguise. To a normal user or journalist this must be all the same anyway.

Thanks. This is ugly, but actually a good disguise for what they want to do.

Article soon on acquiring an SSL cert using acme.net (forked) to negotiate (along with a micro-HTTP server) an ACME handshake with LetsEncrypt and registering the cert directly with netsh for a single HTTPS domain instance or registering the cert in IIS with SNI to serve multiple HTTPS domains from a single public IP each with their own server instance.
On Windows 10. 
Interestingly, you can have a single netsh binding running with multiple IIS SNI bindings. ![Jig | [Dance]](https://codeproject.global.ssl.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/jig.gif)
