Pop-ups after Sonoma update

I've upgraded to Sonoma. Now, every time I start my Mac I get two pop-ups: 'USBserver (or Netserver) would like to access data from other apps - Don't Allow/Allow'. How do I stop or resolve this?

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.
