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!

adb is included in the Android SDK Platform-Tools package. You can download this package with the SDK Manager, which installs it at android_sdk /platform-tools/ .
Case 2: If adb is presentThis generally occurs if the platform-tools are not installed properly. Reinstalling the platform tools might fix this problem. Open Android Studio, click SDK Manager in the toolbar or click Tools > SDK Manager, click SDK Tools, then uncheck Android-SDK Platform-Tools (as shown above).
It can happen sometimes. I use Avast antivirus and it happened to me too. You just have to:
Avast antivirus icon, then click on Virus Chest
adb.exe, then click on Restore and add to exclusions

No
The question is that how do I reinstalled the adb.exe again?
Download platform-tools from official android site (which include adb, fastboot, and systrace) extract it and paste it in your SDK folder (replace content if asked).
