Backdoor, or a normal process?

Hi guys.. I am new to this forum, but I have to say that this forum is great! and that finally i found what i was looking for...

Anywayz, lets get to the thing..
I own a 6600, and a while ago I installed an application called Switcher 1.5(Series 60). I opened the application and from options I chose "Show hidden tasks"
A list appeared like the one in the task manager of the pc when u press CTRL+ALT+DEL, and the top process was called "EiksrvBackdr..." and it had a question mark(?) next to it, while for ather tasks their icon appeared.
I restarted my phone... after finding it a bit difficult to restart... I opend "Switcher" again and the process still appears there..

The "backdr" in the name of the process, made me curious and made me think of "Backdoor" and I would like to ask our experts here, what the hell is that process

Any suggestions comments answers greatly appreciated!
Thank you in advance :icon14:

*to make you realise of what the hell I was saying, i have attached the application as I downloaded and installed it!
thanks again!

I can't tell you exactly what it is, but it is a system process and not anything nasty. Its certainly be seen on other 6600. At a guess I'd it was a UI server component. The Eik bit probably comes from the older EIKON UI.
