It's already there... avast installation put it there on Windows Explorer... Look for the 'a' blue icon in the context menu.

As Tech mentions it is already there, see image.

You can also scan it automatically if your download manager has the option to scan, this is the file and location to enter C:\Program Files\Alwil Software\Avast4\ashQuick.exe.
