Browsing through the "manage applications" menu on my Desire Z I noticed one called "Field Test". It seems to be running in the background constantly, requires extensive permissions, and, apparently, takes up 0KB of space:rolleyes:

Now, this could be some kind of Sense nonsense that I simply haven't noticed before. Or it could be a dummy app that Watchdog Lite is running for testing purposes. (I installed it a couple days ago to try and find out what's causing my phone to slow down so much.) Or it could be some kind of malware, which is what I'm concerned about. Anyone else noticed this on their phones? Are there any decent malware scanners I can install on it so I could check?
 
Yeah, signed up for the Premium trial and scanned again, it still didn't find anything so I assume it's just a background service.
