Explanation (?):

FireDaemon is a commercial application made by Sublime Solutions Pty Ltd and it's intended to wrap most any program as a service. The benefit of wrapping a program as a service is that it can be started at boot rather than at logon and that it can be configured to run invisible, which is quite useful for server applications that have no ability to actually run as a server application. The name of this service can be altered to display as most anything, but it typically starts with "FireDaemon Service:". If you don't want the functionality of this service then you are best to uninstall FireDaemon or use the FireDaemon control panel to remove a specific service that was installed through it rather than to just disable it. Also, several trojans have made use of this program as a wrapper to hide themselves so you should be extremely weary of these services if you didn't install FireDaemon.
