I for one am a longtime user of it and came to rely on it. I like it better than KIS firewall but then again it's just me ;)
I heard the exchanged licenses must be activated before Jan 31st 2016. So you can't shelf it longer.
I also maintained a license of that firewall that is excellent. Dr. web`s firewall is awesome, the same is Defense Wall personal firewall. Unfortunately, Spyshelter firewall gave me BSOD because of their driver in earlier versions (afwcore.sys).
There are only 3 firewalls (Outpost / OA Premium / Comodo HIPS) that I used that can block a trigger-mechanism as I call it (program-triggering another program to launch --almost often the default web browsers). Has DefenseWall gone x64 now? I wasn't able to try it out then because it wasn't x64 ready. With EIS that same trigger-mechanism can't be prevented as the browser is whitelisted by default. In order to block that default browser launch you have to set a different browser as default and set that as "block". I tried to use NVT_Smart Object Blocker with EIS sometime ago and it complemented EIS. Default browser launch was also blocked. But NVT_Smart Object Blocker is still in beta and is currently in a slow roll.
With Outpost Firewall Pro you can just set it as block in the AntiLeak portion of th advanced setting. Easy!
Among the firewalls I liked are the defunct Online Armor Premium, Privatefirewall, Comodo and now soon to be defunct Outpost Firewall Pro(until Dec 2017). Might try out Dr.Web soon
