My malwarebytes free subscription is about to expire...and my bit defender is not reliable on its own...is there something else that is free similar to malwarebyte that I can download that will work well with bitdefender?

Malwarebytes does not expire. Go to the page and download the free one, again.
http://www.malwarebytes.org/
Most here use and like Microsoft Security Essenatials for real time protection and Malwarebytes for the once a week scan. This is all that you need. If you insist on bit defender, you can use Windows Defender.

I use bitdefender b/c I had already paid for the year and I have like 7-8 months left...otherwise I would have downloaded the microsoft essent.

The version of Malwarebytes I have is the free one...but it keeps sending me a message saying its about to expire in 2 days?

You have the paid version, on a trial basis. Get the free version when yours expires.

Facts:
You want your computer protected
The money spent is gone regarless of your action

Why not uninstall the current AV, using their uninstall tool
Install Malwarebytes and Microsoft Security Essentials. This combo is used by most here with the Windows Firewall.
