The-cyber-police.com is one more website, which together with other malicious domains is actively used by hackers for speading a very scary message among browsers. This message is presented as some police warning, obviously a fake one. It says that because of some of your illegal activities when online your browser has been blocked or locked. This virus has an international character, so the message about the browser blocked by police could be translated into many other languages as well.
The-cyber-police.com is therefore a method of malware distribution among PCs, and browsers in particular.
