Awesome application, installation very easy.. I got it up & running in matter of seconds, just ftp upload in Joomla root directories then unzip & hooray! its working as indicated, protected me via major security vulnerabilities.

I am also a "newbie" to joomla! and thought JTS would be helpful.
I had a problem so I went to the JTS help forum. No response to the ONE and only request for help which was posted during the month of May 2008. (Today is 12-24-2008).

That request was for the same problem I am having with JTS. It can't find my joomla!installation even though I installed JTS exactly as directed.

Even though JTS is highly regarded (enough to be an "editors choice), due to lack of support I gave it a low rating.

I suspect the poblem is JTS looks for the joomla! install to be in /joomla but my installatiom is not in /joomla .

I am a newbie and not knowing the vulnerabilities of a standard installation, my sites were getting hacked repeatedly.
I installed this component on each of my websites and simply went step by step through the listed vulnerabilities and hardened my websites against hackers. It worked. No more hacked sites!
This component is a lifesaver for anyone like me who needs to harden his websites against script kiddies.
Highly recommended!
