Lost files after deleting with Microsoft Antispyware - wan..

I recently installed Microsoft Antispyware, and ran the spyware scan. It
picked up some viruses and I had them all deleted. Later I realized I
deleted a program that I need. Is there a way to restore this program?
Possibly by using XP system restore? Also it looks like Antispyware has a
system restore, but I don't see the file I'm missing. Last, I did check the
restore point button before I deleted.
