Found the solution! It's connected to Brother printer software.


Go to Macintosh HD > Library > Printers > Brother > Utilities > Server


then delete the contents of "Server" = USBserver, NETserver, LOGINserver.


Reboot and the popups have gone!


The above three files are apparently legacy 32-bit apps that are installed by the Brother software but not needed at all for the printer to function fully, so are safe to delete.
