Search Listing ReDirects to a Spam Page

My Google listing for a forum I run is now being hijacked by a third party. When I click on the listing in google results it transfers to a spam site.

Initially I fixed the issue by putting a redirect against other non urls.

For example

example.com/forum/ is the ideal location.

I redirected www.example.com/forum/ and forum.example.parentsite.com and example.parentsite.com/forum/ and that fixed the problem initially but now the problem has spread to this domain: example.com/forum/

Any help would be appreciated.

[edit reason] swirch to example.com - it can never be owned [/edit]

The first thing you need to know is whether this is a problem with Google or with files on your server. So check the source code for the Google search result page and find out if the url there is correct.

We just recently had another thread here about a similar situation - you may be interested in that discussion:
