I've heard that it could be caused by Sprite terminator.

It's a program that sits in the background.
If you lose your phone, or it gets stolen, you just send your phone a text message from another phone, and your phone will reply with the GPS coordinates so you can find it.

You can also instruct sprite terminator to wipe your phone clean remotely.

http://www.spritesoftware.com/products it costs $14.95

I've also used SmartphoneTracker (http://smartphonetracker.blogspot.com/), which is free, and sends you the GPS coordinates, but it's not as "stealth" as the sprite program.

Your battery issue may be due to the data connection staying on at all times. There is a fix for this, I believe it is in Hafrust customizations thread, could be wrong though... I cant find it now, I am at work and gotta run...

Hehe...no. I was just saying that if the OP is getting poor battery life, maybe it's because they have that program installed (as many people have it).
