annoying total adblock popup

I have an annoying and pretty constant popup from Total Adblock on my Macbook Pro 2012. When I click on it I go to a web page saying "your premium Ad Black has now expired! Upgrade to Block Unlimited Ads Again". I never signed for for Total Adblock's initial free version - I have Adblock Plus. I have tried to block the Total Adblock using Adblock Plus but can't see anyway to do this. Any suggestions most welcome.

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 10.13
