I might have accidentally deleted the app store. I downloaded webroot secure anywhere and tried to delete some files securely and I might have chosen the app store.
Is there is a way to re download the app store?
Re-installl OS X.

1. Remove the worthless "Webroot" product by following the instructions on this page. If you have a different version of the product, the procedure may be different.
Back up all data before making any changes.
2. If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data, then reinstall the OS.* You don't need to erase the startup volume, and you won't need the backup unless something goes wrong. If the system was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you may need the Apple ID and password you used.
There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
If you installed the Java runtime distributed by Apple and still need it, you'll have to reinstall it. The same goes for Xcode. All other data will be preserved.
*The linked support article refers to OS X 10.10 ("Yosemite"), but the procedure is the same for OS X 10.7 ("Lion") and later.
