Third party screensavers are screensavers that are not installed by default or are not from Microsoft. Most of them use flash to operate and are often not up-to-date, so they search for the wrong version of it.
An error message: Could find the file f”lash.ocx” is typically displayed when this occurs. The new version of flash has the filename flash9e.ocx and you need to create a copy of it, named flash.ocx to fix this problem. To do this:
1. Go to C:\WINDOWS\system32\Macromed\Flash
2. Look for flash9e.ocx and copy it
3. Paste into the same folder and name the copy flash.ocx.
[...] Before you can use them, you might need to configure your system to allow 3rd party screensavers. [...]

It probably tries to access the internet to see if there is an update available…
Shouldn’t be anything harmless.
