New Android feature knows when users are panicking about ads freezing their phones

Google is working on a new'panic' feature for Android. It's designed to protect you from malware, and will let you escape an infected app when it tries to take over your phone. Most people's natural reaction after they first realise that they've opened a dodgy link or launched a malicious app is to return to where they came from by repeatedly bashing the back key. Google appears to have built new functionality specifically around that instinct. The I.F.O. is fuelled by eight electric engines, which is able to push the flying object to an estimated top speed of about 120mph.
