Thanks Esmi,

Will I have lost all of the pages and posts too?

Sorry if that sounds a bit simplistic.

Will do.

Thanks,

Google state:

(You need a robots.txt file only if your site includes content that you don’t want search engines to index. If you want search engines to index everything in your site, you don’t need a robots.txt file—not even an empty one. If you don’t have a robots.txt file, your server will return a 404 when Googlebot requests it, and we will continue to crawl your site. No problem.)

Would I be better off removing the robots.txt?

Then again if there is a hack it may be that the file will keep be regenerated.

Thanks Esmi, could the robot.txt file be a result of the hack?

Thanks Skippy.
