My firewall is stuck in lockdown seems like I can't change no settings or nothing and lot of stuff runs it's own and anything I try top open don't like someone or something is denying me access
Not see that before.
Did a websearch. Not exactly your issue but maybe this item will help or steer.
Look at answer with green tick. including command:
sudo ufw reset

There stands for Incoming and Outgoing ''Deny''. Try it with set Outgoing to ''Alow''. And I see that the Toggle for the Firewall is turned off.

Your last post has a lot of different things going on and I have no idea what you were doing there.
Going back to post #3. As @Ponce-De-Leon has already said, the Firewall "Status" slider indicates Firewall is switched OFF
Are you able to boot ZorinOS from HDD or "Try Zorin" from Live USB?
I was going to suggest running ClamAV and/or installing and running Rkhunter, but you would need internet access for downloading.
Are you dual-booting and still have Windows installed with internet access?
Can you download, install and run Malwarebytes Free under Windows?

Do you have any Encryption active?
I couldn't get into any of the settings to try anything I restarted it and it was corrupted I wiped my hard drive clean with gparted- live going to redo my partition is there some kinda Way I should reformat the hard drive to to be safer
I don't know if that had to do with anything I just wiped it it was in the hard drive
Which USB creation tool did you use to make your ZorinOS installation USB?
Did you check the SHA256 checksum of the ZorinOS Core downloaded .iso file against the published value on Zorin website.
FYI. Some basic installation advice can be found in this thread: Before you install
If you have completly wiped the hard drive and the Live USB runs OK on your machine, I guess you could again try to install ZorinOS from the USB.
