Is the "PXE ROM" a new kind of virus spyware or is it normal?

I have a home IBM laptop which every once in a while complains about not
being able to find something called a "PXE ROM". When I google for that, I
find it's a "pre-boot execution environment".

I didn't ask for a pre boot execution environment. Is this some kind of
virus or spyware that somehow got on my system?

Here is the message I get every once in a while. I'm not asking about the
message. I'm asking what is this "thing" called a "PXE ROM" and who put it
there and why does it exist?

Please help,
Ilena
