When trying to apply the method for further security with "sudo apt-get install ssh", I get the following:

E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock – open (11: Resource temporarily unavailable)
E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it?

What should I do at this point to continue with securing the Open-SSH Access?

Prior to attempting this I had already installed "Firestarter" and ClamAV." Don't know if this is the problem or not.

I am completely brand new to Linux Ubuntu, so this is foreign for me.

Thank you for the help,

Randy
