The "heart" of GuardXT is a file system check (best scheduled as a cron job), that regularly monitors changes of your files. Additionally various security checks may be performed (e.g. check Joomla configuration, PHP settings etc...).
The results are presented in an easy to use and understand interface and most security issues can be fixed immediately from the interface.
GuardXT consists of several modules:
* Security News: Receives the JoomlaXT security news and displays them in the admin component
* Version Check: Checks for latest version of Joomla! and GuardXT!
* File Guard: Checks your file system for changes, detects unsafe directory and file permissions.
* Configuration Check: Performs some basic checks of your Joomla configuration

This component is unavoidable, even if you think your site is secure. It helps check how secure is your installation and makes it easy to monitor your joomla files.

Component are very powerful, handle (in my case) more then 25 000 files on one server, no any conflicts with other modules/plugins at all, no any js library conflicts (Jquery, mootools, etc), MUST HAVE for any serious Joomla! developer.
Really thanks to autor!

Installed like a breeze, did exactly what it was suppose to do. Right off the top let me know that J!1.5.9 was out, which I hadn't noticed yet. It linked me right to the download page so I didn't have to surf around looking for the update. The 3rd party component checking device doesn't list what the most current version is, but it does link what version I have and provide a link to the developers home page, making updating much easier. The checks of the file system and joomla core system pointed out permission errors and security enhancements I could make (and did). This is probably the best COM I've downloaded in 6 months.
