Extension Guard Pro - AI-Powered Joomla Security & Update Monitor

**Automate Your Joomla Security with Artificial Intelligence.**
Managing updates across multiple Joomla sites can be tedious, and missing a critical security patch can be catastrophic. Extension Guard Pro acts as your automated site guardian. Instead of logging in daily to see if your extensions are out of date, this plugin checks for you automatically and emails you a beautiful, prioritized report only when action is needed.

**Powered by the Best AI Models**
Bring your own API key to unlock deep analysis. Select between Google Gemini, OpenAI (ChatGPT), or Anthropic (Claude) directly in the plugin settings. Instead of just telling you an update is available, the AI acts as your security analyst, reading the version bump and categorizing it by risk level (Critical, High, Medium, Low), and tagging patches that fix known vulnerabilities.

**Key Features:**
*   **Automated Background Execution:** Integrates seamlessly with Joomla 4.1+ / 5.x Task Scheduler (Lazy Cron). No server-side CRON configuration required.
*   **Multi-AI Provider Support:** Choose between Google Gemini, OpenAI, or Anthropic to power your update analysis.
*   **Joomla Core Monitoring:** Instantly detects when a new Joomla Core release drops and drops an unmissable orange alert flag at the top of your report.
*   **Required Extension Enforcement:** Supply a Master List of required extensions (e.g., Akeeba Backup, Admin Tools). The plugin checks what's missing and emails you an alert—perfect for agencies standardizing client setups.
*   **Security-Only Mode:** Hate spam? Toggle "Security Only" mode so the plugin only emails you when the AI determines an update is a critical security patch, ignoring standard minor feature bumps.
*   **Beautiful Email Reporting:** Sends modern, mobile-responsive HTML emails directly to your selected Super Users with clear, color-coded priority flags.

Take the guesswork out of your update cycle. Install Extension Guard Pro, set your Task Scheduler, and let AI handle your website's security monitoring.
