> If it is said that the daemon threads are existing even when the JVM stops execution, then when does the Daemn gets garbage collected and how to stop the daemmon threads?????

Daemon threads will not run even if the JVM stops execution.
The JVM will see if there are any threads to schedule, if the threads to be scheduled are daemon, then JVM simply stops tham.
