It is quite possible that you may have a virus on your computer. Update your anti virus software and do a full system scan. Goto these two web sites to get info on the file you asked about.

Computer Associates Web Site (http://www3.ca.com/virusinfo/virus.aspx?ID=9739)

McAfee Web Site (http://vil.nai.com/vil/content/v_100054.htm)

Microsofts Web Site (http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=294728)

Hope this helps.

EDIT: Oooppppsss Make that three, found one other at the last minute. Thanks jay973

What you have is considered a Trojan, and here is a description as well as the method of removal. This is not a newer trojan, you really need to make sure your AV definitions are updated ;)

firedaemon is a legit program.

are you in a college or university or some other computer-center?

speaking from experience, firedaemon is commonly used among XDCC 'hackers' (such as i used to be).
it is used to make a program a service, hence making it run while Windows systm boots up.

in this case, they use it as a tool to make the XDCC bot or FTP program run as soon as the pc starts. (iroffer in case of an XDCC bot [iroffer.org], or Serv-U in case of FTP program.

go to start -> search for files, and search for firedaemon.exe. chances are that you'll find even more files in its folder.

good luck.
