Firewall changing rules on its own?????

Hi Zorin Clan!

I had a bad virus that infected my devices. I decided to abandon windows 10 for linux in hopes to gain better security.

Problem I've noticed is that I set a rule in my firewall to block dleyna-renderer-service coming in through port 1900. I did this because I didn't authorize it or want it. Also I believe it was connecting wiht pulse audio which was slowing down my pc tremendously. After I set the rule my pc was working well for about a day then all of the sudden in my firewall log I noticed rules were being changed. I didn't do it so I'm not sure what or who did. Then I no'ticed gvfsd-smb-browse connecting to my pc intermitantly. My files sharing is off, BT is off and I didn't authorize any sharing to take place.

I'm curious if you have any idea whats going on?? I've enclosed some screen shots I've attached.
