Hacked listing in Google for my site

Recently my site disappeared from the SERRPs at first i thought it was Google just doing their regular algo update and thought nothing of it as it always comes back after a week or so. Not this time...

So I investigated. I went into Google's Webmaster Tools and checked the Cache info and it showed up as this spammy, adware, malware site... somehow they have hijacked my SERPS... FireFox tells me this is an 'attack' site and advises against entering...

My site is fine, in and of itself, the URL still points to where it is supposed and everything appears to be in order. Except that the SERPS are showing this "Hacker" site instead of my site.

For now I have dropped the whole site off the server until I can figure out what is going on...

Any advice muchly appreciated...

Yes I am currently scanning all my computers for SPY/MALWARE

I'd read up on this thread

Sounds like a cloaked attack, serving a different page to Google than when visiting direct. You need to lock down your server.
