I just moved from ubuntu to zorin, having a problem with frostwire saying it is detecting a firewall? I have not installed a firewall, is there a way past this?

Hi, the firewall is 'gufw' and by default it is usually set to 'off' - I prefer firewalls to be on by default, like in Makulu. If you want to remove the firewall, open Synaptic Package Manager (Menu | System Tools | Administration) you will need to enter your login password to elevate you to 'root' (administrator) to be able to run synaptic - then in the search filter, enter gufw - Check mark it for 'Removal' by right-clicking the check box, then select 'Apply' from the Menu commands at the top. Keep us posted! :D
