There doesn't appear to be a clear response to this issue from our end. Kerm, have you received any emails from Google and/or are you a user of Google Webmaster Tools?
maybe it was one of the bots that seen all of the programing code that set it off ?
but anyway that is crazy. Kerm needs to go and set the record straight.

I know of a possible reason it would think that (which has since been resolved), but I'll leave it to Kerm to explain that to whatever extent he wishes. Looks to me like their data is a bit out of date, though.

I changed the title to something descriptive.

I am too lazy to actually make my own post so instead I quote people and then don't say anything new
That support link elfprince posted agrees with my guess.
The problem is that there was an FTP break-in in January that went undetected until April, when the attacker uploaded what's known as a blackhat SEO (Search Engine Optimization) package. I detected it in the middle of the month, removed it, changed my FTP password, and notified my webhost of the malicious activity. I'm monitoring for further problems. I've taken the necessary steps to make Google re-check the site.

Bummer. Any indications that other areas of the site were compromised (specifically, my subdomain)?
Nope, although just to be sure, I'm doing some diffing and scanning of a backup of the website against a known-clean copy that I have. 
Oh Kerm BTW, even if you don't have SSH access enabled sftp still works with surpass so I would suggest using that from now on, though it was acting rather slower than just normal ftp for me the other day.

Um, wow, I had no idea that that was possible. And it's actually going three or four times faster than FTP for me. 
I figured out why it was going slow for me, I still had sshfs connected on my server and the sftp daemon is not a fan of multiple connections. I disconnected my server and it sped right up.
