In UNIX, a program that runs in the background (not attached
to a terminal) is called a "daemon." It's something you
can't see, but it's alive.

Answer / basheer
The deamons are background processes and starts
autometically without user interface or user interaction.
demons are auto start it means if user stop the deamon it
will appears in next reboot.[ or we can say can not be
stopped, they starts automatically]
In windows there is no deamons only services[ means they are
combined with services] where as in Unix for every service
there is a deamon.
we can identify deamons ===>
run #ps-ef|more
[ it will list all the the running processes]
"?" indicates deamons.
