Not sure whats up but when I go to vcdhelper.com I get re-directed to a VCD ratings site?

Is this just me or is that domain no longer yours?

I have never owned that domain, the one who owns it have been kind to point it to my site but not anymore...maybe just temporarily I dont know yet.

Just add this to your hosts file:
66.28.31.2 http://www.vcdhelper.com

Now instead of a DNS server sending you to the vcdhelper.com site when you put the address in the address bar, you will be sent to vcdhelp.com because vcdhelper.com is mapped to the IP address of vcdhelp.com internally in your own PC. Like a transparent redirect. You can have fun on other peoples systems with this little trick, like sending them to a porno site when they try to get to hotmail.com or something, hehe.

vcdhelper should point to vcdhelp now.

Dhruv,
you have to locate your hosts file: Every OS should have a hosts file. In Win 9x the file is called hosts.sam and resides in C:\WINDOWS\
