If a "local computer expert" doesn't know what a PE file is , (s)he isn't an "expert". It's the executable format ever since Windows went 32bit, so for about 20 years now... And the explanation at Wikipedia is actually pretty good, including links to more in-depth information. But in general, I think you get hung up on that topic far too much...
