Never noticed this before the latest security update, but under the running apps disguised as a lone running Android System is something now called IQ Agent.
I thought there was some sort of action against the use of this back when it was called Carrier IQ?

It may be a AT&T thing. I wonder if someone with a MM Note 5 on T-Mobile sees the same thing.

This actually angers me quite a bit that they snuck in the addition of this spyware in a security update.

I'm on a T-Mobile Note 5 on Marshmallow and I don't have any application that says IQ. The only time I see that icon (2 silver discs with green band) is for Android System, like Almeuit said it may be a carrier thing. In application manager I can no longer see running apps, all I can see are all apps, have it also show system apps, apps that can appear on top, change system settings and reset app preferences. I want to say before Marshmallow there used to be a tab for running apps but not positive.
