This program delted kazaa and over 4000 downloaded files.

I restored my computer to a earlier date, this restored
kazaa but not the files.

What can I do????
 
Use your recycle bin to restore. Or, did you empty it as many do?

Correct: System Restore does not restore data files.

When MSAS "deleted" the KaZaA folder, did you select "remove" or
"quarantine" as the clean-up action for MSAS?

If you selected "Remove", then you have lost these files for ever.

If you selected "quarantine", then you have some hope of using the
un-quarantine features of MSAS to put the files back again.
 
Well, these files are for sure not in the recycle bin after MSAS
removal.

For most users they are gone, some users manage to unquarantine
all files.

Look inside Program files/Microsoft Antispyware/Quarantine folder
if you can see something, probably with "scrambled" file names.

Maybe you can unquarantine them, look in MSAS help file

Do not restart if you finds them or unquarantine, move all files
to a different folder.

If you restart they are gone for all.

MS and RIAA likes each other..........

Cry?
 
You're right. Sorry!

I have been using the "Norton Protected Recycle Bin" for so many years that
I tend to forget that the normal recycle bin does not save these types of
deletions. Norton would have caught those files and allowed the OP to
recover them (up to the limit he chose for his bin size).
