<p>KDE uses dbus for many internal services. On a recent linux system I see the following KDE services in dbus</p>
<p>org.kde.ActivityManager<br />
org.kde.JobViewServer<br />
org.kde.kappmenu<br />
org.kde.kcookiejar5<br />
org.kde.kdeconnectd<br />
org.kde.kded5<br />
org.kde.keyboard<br />
org.kde.kglobalaccel<br />
org.kde.kiod5<br />
org.kde.kioexecd<br />
org.kde.klauncher5<br />
org.kde.klipper<br />
org.kde.knotify<br />
org.kde.kpasswdserver<br />
org.kde.krunner<br />
org.kde.kssld5<br />
org.kde.kuiserver<br />
org.kde.kwalletd5<br />
org.kde.Solid.PowerManagement<br />
org.kde.Solid.PowerManagement.PolicyAgent<br />
org.kde.StatusNotifierWatcher</p>
<p>Some of them are Linux only, but some are required on Windows (for example kio)</p>

<p>This has not been reported to the official dbus issue tracker (<a href="https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/groups/dbus/-/issues?scope=all&utf8=%E2%9C%93&state=opened&search=virus" class="remarkup-link" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/groups/dbus/-/issues?scope=all&utf8=%E2%9C%93&state=opened&search=virus</a>) . Can you point me to related reports ?</p>

<p>From what I know does kio depends on dbus, which mean you are saying that standalone applications could not use kio and my be others (see above)</p></div></div><br /><div><strong>REPOSITORY</strong><div><div>R289 KNotifications</div></div></div><br /><div><strong>REVISION DETAIL</strong><div><a href="https://phabricator.kde.org/D21660">https://phabricator.kde.org/D21660</a></div></div><br /><div><strong>To: </strong>brute4s99, broulik, nicolasfella<br /><strong>Cc: </strong>cullmann, habacker, aspotashev, bcooksley, apol, nicolasfella, kde-frameworks-devel, LeGast00n, GB_2, michaelh, ngraham, bruns<br /></div>
