Unless you have edited any of the files you can simply download a new copy of the guestbook and upload the new files over the old files EXCEPT admin/config.inc.php

Possibly but a hacker would usually do more and make it obvious they had done it. Most hacking is just attention seeking, the other sort is pointing out flaws in a server. Either way they usually make it obvious.

I apologize for my terrible english.
can you suggest to me that what can cause the passing of the file?
which thing can cause the disappearing of one file from the server?

Maybe something your host did, maybe your ftp program messed up.

Hi
the only file that disappear are addentry.php
i think that is a little improbable that always addentry and only addentry disappears
that is happened not few times.
