AVG antivirus removed adb.exe

Avast antivirus in my system removed adb.exe from my platform-tools folder. I searched SO for the same problem and came to a conclusion that Avast antivirus is an evil for Android studio.

The question is that how do I reinstalled the adb.exe again? Where is the SDK zipped file so that I can unzip it again for obtaining adb again? Or will I have to download the whole SDK again?

Any positive comments will be appreciated!

  • It can happen sometimes. I use Avast antivirus and it happened to me too. You just have to:

    1. Right click on Avast antivirus icon, then click on Virus Chest

    1. Right click on adb.exe, then click on Restore and add to exclusions

    1. And it's done
