This simple but functional plugin allows you to monitor your entire WP installation for unwanted file changes (even for file permissions change!) and promptly notify you in case of something. Everyone whose website was hacked once knows how it is complicated to detect infiltration on initial stage and to find all changes in the file system. This plugin does a job.

Be sure to install it on malware-free website, set correct ‘File Check Root’ in plugin’s settings, and make sure all check-boxes in ‘File Check Method’ are ticed for file changes better recognizing.
