It is not a critical error but as it says "a warning" Normally an unsigned driver may only be less stable but it could also be malware.  Just to eliminate that possibility I would run malwarebytes.  If clean I would not worry about that warning

Please download the free version of Malwarebytes.

Update it immediately.

Do a full system scan

Let us know the results at the end.
